Product Description
Product Description
She remembered how it felt to lose Salma, first to the wiles of the Butterfly-kinden girl, then to hear the news of his death, abandoned and alone in the midst of the enemy. She remembered how it felt to see her father hacked to death before her eyes. But of her murder of Achaeos, of the bite of her blade into his unsuspecting flesh, the wound that had sapped him and ruined him until he died, she remembered nothing, felt nothing. In such a vacuum, how could she possibly atone? Tynisa is running, but she cannot escape the demons of her own mind. Amidst the fragmenting provinces of the Dragonfly Commonweal her past will at last catch up with her. Her father's ghost is hunting her down. At the same time, the Wasp Empress, Seda, is on the move, her eyes on the city of Khanaphes, the fallen jewel of the ancient world. Whilst her soldiers seek only conquest, she sees herself as the heir to all the old powers of history, and has her eyes on a far greater prize.

Good next Book although the book could have been shorter, May 1 2012
By Corbett Hoxland - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Heirs Of The Blade (Paperback)
For those of us following the Apt, this is another piece in the ongoing series. This time round the focus is on three groups, Che & Talric, Tynisia & her Dragonflies and of course the Empress begins to emerge.Without giving away the plot, it is good, not great, despite the fact that i really enjoy the series.
there are too many characters to keep track of, too many locations to remember what happened where and who was involved. to address it, i would skip chapters that focused on characters i thought were minor.
Sometimes i think the book could have been reduced by 25% without losing the reader. Adrian, if you read any of these reviews, in the next book, keep it shorter please.

Another good addition to the series, Mar 21 2012
By E. Toom - Published on Amazon.com

This new addition to the Shadows of the Apt was quite well written and entertaining. It continues the overall storie a bit, but was mostly an action packed sideline and elaborated the connection between the queen of the wasps and "the beetle girl". All in all eagerly awaiting the next book.
