What can I say? I was completely floored by this book. With a prequel like this, anyone would want to know what happened.Atargatis and Crehon. How could brothers in arms suddenly become enemies? They can. When one is consumed with grief. I have always believed that the actions we decide to take brings about consequences that we have to accept. And yet in this story, through no fault of one of the protagonists, a consequence was brought to bear. In the end, this divided them.I like Ms Pardington's writing style. It is historically lyrical and keeps in line with the era she writes of. The vision of the worlds she creates through her words is captivating to say the least. One is able to swim and see the depths of Atargatis' beautiful kingdom, and one cannot help but wish and sigh to live in Crehon's home.Beautiful doesn't even begin to describe it.Magnificent....yes, that's the word.Magnificent.Looking forward to the next book!
