The battle is won. But the war is just beginning.
Belgarin’s forces have retreated, but in the city of Perennia there is no rejoicing. The air is filled with the mourning cries of survivors, and the wind that blows through the city carries the smell of freshly dug graves and death.
As the city grieves, Aaron and his companions attempt to hold together an alliance that threatens to crumble around them. While the alliance’s leaders bicker and argue, Boyce Kevlane, an ancient wizard bent on revenge, has taken Belgarin’s place as king and uses his twisted powers to create an army out of nightmare.
To stand a chance of keeping the coalition together, Aaron is forced to venture into Baresh, a city gripped by madness and terror, in search of proof of the coming danger.
But evil is a thing of shadows and darkness, and it will not go easily into the light.
To survive, Aaron will be forced to call on his friends and the growing power of his bond with a creature of myth. Yet even this may not be enough. For there are other powers in the world, darker ones, and there is no telling what secrets the shadows hold.

a little wordy and a bit too much angst.

Then there’s my pet peeve that is princess Adina. Previously, I was annoyed that she was just a plot device: a love interest and damsel to be rescued. But here, I was more annoyed by the attempt to make her some sort of rebel fighter. She’s no Princess Leia, nor Arista from Theft of Swords. There’s a single training session, and then she’s infiltrating a city and leading a coup?!
I continue to enjoy supporting characters the most, especially Grayle and Wendell, who provide humor and heart. And the mystery of Baresh had some cool horror aspects to it. But, because of the bloat, this four star listen dropped down to two.
Team Evil regroups … slowly

Oh, right… and the few brief moments of plot movement we actually do get are literally FILLED with the dumbest decisions a person can make—on the part of multiple characters. Seriously, how often does this author think he can get away with force-plotting his main characters to just let the “bad guys” go? Really? The MC is a sell-sword, who constantly acts like a worn and torn, disabused merc, but he’s just going to leave lose-ends like that? Over and over and over again?
Where in the world was the editor for this project?!
And all of the excessive, gratuitous scenes of vile things happening to people… I’ve definitely heard worse, unfortunately, but the fact that the scenes just dragged on and on made it all the more difficult to trudge through.
Ugh… painful. Just painful.
I sure hope the next book was better thought out, since I actually enjoyed the story somewhat, early on, and would like to see this journey through to the end; yet I find myself leaning more towards dropping the series, entirely, at the moment. Ugh…
“Get ON with it!”
