In many ways, I enjoyed this book even more than book #1, The Sable City. Once again, all the familiar players have returned, even Nesha-tari, the half-Lamia with a maneating disorder. But this time we learn more about them, as Duchess Claudja's motives for making war come under question and the young wizard Phin finds a dangerous object impossible to resist. Tilda and Zeb grow closer and new characters are introduced, most notably Princess Allison, a heroine not even Joss Whedon could improve upon.The war at the heart of Death of a Kingdom is so realistically described, you may feel as though you're reading military history. It's a great story filled with wonderful characters and capped with rousing, edge-of-your-seat battle. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to book #3.
