I like each of these books even more than the previous one. I loved the setting of this, especially seeing Christine absolutely in her element. There's some great humour - like the ongoing attempt of that camel to eat Whyborne's hat, which lighten things up.

Whybornes character development continues, and he's becoming very much the protagonist of the series, rather than simply one of a partnership. He's more like Vic Bayne say on that score, where his development is the focus and while his relationship with Griffin is a big part of that, like Vic's with Jacob, it's is only part. Don't get me wrong though, I love Griffin (and Jacob) and love their scenes together.

The final climactic battle of the story is fantastic. Absolutely epic, as befits the epic setting.

Now how long do I make myself wait before I get the audiobook to enjoy the story again?
