I don't know why, but I seriously struggled with this book.

It's only the second Raymond Feist book I've read and they both felt like such hard work. It took me nearly 2 whole weeks to slog through this.

There's a lot of unnecessary pomp in this book I think. A lot of description for description sake. Talon is a very lacking character who uses vengeance as a personality trait.

Overall I didn't enjoy it, which is a shame, because I really wanted to.
