I downloaded the first book in this series because it was free and enjoyed it so much I purchased Death of a Kingdom, the 2nd book int he Norothian Cycle.  The book picks up fairly close to where book one left off.  The majority of the characters are still together with the exceptions of John Deskata and Nesha Tari.  We follow a more political chapter in this series as we learn about the result of Cladija's quest to bring her father's Duchy into the empire, and see the resulting battles as a result.  For the most part the story kept moving along at a good pace, and with the same subtle humor that I noticed in the Sable City.  I had to take a star away because there was a large section of the book that followed Nesha Tari's adventures alone.  While the end result was interesting, I found these chapters to be boring.  Nesha Tari spent so much time hating humans (I can't stand characters that just feel superior and do nothing but complain.....zzzzzz) and her associates were all nasty and mean spirited as well - there was no one to root for.I've already purchased book 3.
