forgive me if my review sounds incoherent i write like i think, skipping words sometimes.I deeply enjoyed the new book and I have to comment on some of the comments made on Brock's blog. I don't think Klar changed at all. He was still always trying to get a upper hand and he continuously messed with Az. When Az was alive he could do other things as he wasn't in any real danger and when Az was killed it was in his best interest to let him die (even if he could have saved him). Ellyssa's character development was very well done. She needed to power up, as I've been suspecting that she would play an important part since she is one of the character that gets as much attention as Az. Having her practice by using the book to learn spells to kill slavers was inspired. I can't wait for the thieves guild to get their due for getting her captured and tortured again, I understand that they were coerced but still.  I also disagree that the book lost humor. This was a dark book about murder and being in hell there's very few ways to inject humor into that without being tacky. Az was also supposed to come to terms with what has happened to him and why he is who he is, in order to fully embrace his full magical potential. But the hewn-pole fornication comment had me expelling orange juice from my nose (it hurts I tell you). The goddess blast was mildly amusing but I was mostly in shock that Az is a freaking idiot. oh the insults to the new headmaster were just completely unfair. The part I agree with is the cliff hanger at the end, I hate hate hate it. I hope we can get 1 or 2 chapters from the next book soon.I think Roger and Ellyssa will probably end up together, they balance each other out.  I'm really proud of Sandy (feels weird saying that about an imaginary character) but I'm also scared.  If anyone remembers there was a voice that was speaking to her 2 books back while accessing her egg-memories, now we know it was a scion.  Maybe she'll be safe since she's bonded to Az in a manner of speaking (he's kinda her father).  How weird will it be though when Az comes home and tells his wife he has another kid? sure don't envy him.  "hey hon I'm alive again and a guardian kinda sexed me when i was unconscious (magical rape) and this is my son",  awkward.favorite sentence in the book:"She told me to go fornicate myself with a rough-hewn staff, Your Grace."DESKINS, BROCK (2012-11-19).
