It's been a while since I have read it and posted a review but the end result of it was that it earned 5 stars from me. It's got interesting conflicts both internal and external with all of the characters. It's a step forward for everyone from Farideh to the royal family of Cormyr and it opens up a number of plat lines that should be very intriguing in the near future. There are characters that we haven't heard from in a long, long time that make an appearance and though I won't tell you who I am speaking of I will say that him showing up could have big ramifications going forward. There are small scale issues related only to the sisters and there father here and then there are issues that will effect the entire realms. It's a well written book that ties in to the larger scale happenings of Toril without g ignoring the inner conflict of even the throw away characters.
