This book really expands on what we already knew and introduced more of the story to really tie the previous books. The bad guys are somewhat out of the shadows, and taking direct action now. Though I thoroughly enjoyed the book I feel that Az is getting by with too much luck, his magic skills have not improved at all since moving to his new home city, I dont want him to be invincible, but his luck in battles is almost getting ridiculous and supposedly strong people/creatures meet their end in a most disappointing way [dragon fight, doppelgänger fight, rook death, head master fight]. Also there's a goddess that is very much interested in Az but we only have a few references to her here and there when they speak.  It would be good to know what she wants, since it's obvious she is fond of Az.  By way of his life even though he does it not from a place of evil, but one of necessity he has sent a lot of souls to her. I can't wait for the next books in the series it is one of my favorite series.
