I couldn't stop reading this book. Beth has written a compulsive page-turner. Vibrant action and adventure and magic that does not strain credibility. And great dialogue to boot.My favorite lines:“Henrietta,” Jaxter interrupted. “I trust no one else to carry this message to KingMattias. You know him.” Jaxter locked a stern gaze onto her. “You’re actually mypersonal courier, but you’ll have the trappings of the ambassadorship as a—aformality—with official papers.”“A disguise in plain sight?”Henrietta is endearing and I cheered her (and Franc) all the way to the end of this book."Henrietta’s heart squeezed. “ ‘A trust forged in the fire of adventure is steadfastfor life,’ ” she quipped the old adage about the strong bonds of friendship createdon the road."A truly enjoyable journey.(I downloaded a free copy of this book in return for an honest review.)
