Your friend Marc warned me that I would probably find the Riverland reduced to rubble and you in the midst of it, looking apologetic. All in all, quite a busy week. Seeker's Mask has the intricate plotting and macabre humor of God Stalk , and after a somewhat slow start it maintains a breakneck pace. The Riverland lacks the grisly charm of Tai-tastigon, but it does gain depth and a sense of history. And unlike Dark of the Moon , Seeker's Mask only has short interludes that deal with Torisen, who still hasn't worked up either the nerve or the interest to ask Jame where she's been for the past decade or so.
Destruction is, of course, another.
I think Hurlen is the only city or keep in the entire series to be visited by Jame without suffering major structural damage. Mount Alban wasn't badly damaged, but it certainly wasn't all in one place much of the time after Jame arrived. Most of the plot threads are tied up by the conclusion, some more messily than others. Typically, Jame manages to prevent the loss of the Riverland completely by accident and without realizing it until several days later. It's currently out of print, so scour your local used bookstore, or check with your library.
