Review: Interesting book in a richly imagined, complex world!
Rating: 5 out of 5

The world is richly imagined, the characters very realistic, with a hint of mystery as to who the child is and why he means so much danger and evil for the old woman. The old woman is caught in an ethical dilemma, to kill the child that could mean their destruction, or to let the child live in case she was wrong that he was the Vileborn. It has a feeling of depth, with the feeling of the Karai moving closer as they expand through conquest, and the High Ones (the Gods) waging their wars without caring what might happen to humans caught in between, and the danger of the Vileborn child from within. The story draws you in and keeps you wanting to read more and find out about the characters and what happens to them next.
