There is a considerable amount of character development, the pace is just spot on, and the world-building is really fantastic.
This, the third book in the series, is a very pleasant read on its own because Eric Swett is able to provide the reader with just the right amount of background information. I thought the author’s writing style was enjoyable, and I couldn’t help but feel that it was something similar to the manner of Jim Butcher, who is the author of The Dresden Files.
