This is one of my favorite series. I have read each book at least 5 times. There is a lot of good things about this book. First, there is the protagonist. Prince Roger is spoiled, pampered, and universally despised. As the book progresses, however, we begin to see just what type of man has lived hidden buried beneath the spoiled prince. He goes from wimp to action hero. Then there are the supporting characters. They truly make this book come alive. Their interactions with each other and Roger are one of this book's strengths. Couple that with a richly imagined world, and this book is pretty much set. Of course, this book does not stop there. There is action, suspense, drama, and loss. The Empress's own is determined to get Prince roger to safety, and they do not care how many of them they will bury in order to do so--and they will bury a lot of them. Buy this book. It is well worth reading.
