I have read nearly every single Forgotten Realms Novel since the first one released, and there have been stinkers before.
But this one is so loosely thrown together, and seemed to be written on the fly as she thought it up. When a huge war breaks out, a easy 'out' is given to the Character, and became so...irrelevant and I didn't care about the character in any way. This is the first FR novel I quit reading, and I was near the end of the book. I have read Veronica's other novel in the Spider Queen Series, and it was great, so It was just this story I guess.

The hero is a whining spoiled brat.
The story is choppy and difficult to get into.
The character motivations are convoluted and not believable.
[A person of extreme wealth who steals the property of other people so she can get a kick out of the danger that she misses in her spoiled-pampered-self centered life, oh and she's GOOD and moral too????]

This was a very entertaining novel, featuring Thazienne "Tazi" Uskevren from the Sembia series. Set in Thay, it reveals some interesting tidbits of Thayvian history and features some of the more powerful Red Wizards rather prominently.
This book should appeal to Forgotten Realms fans in general, but especially to fans of the Sembia series and to those interested in Thay and the Red Wizards.
The story flows well and keeps the reader interested. The only complaint I have is that some parts of this book were a little unrealistic. I mean, I know this is fantasy fiction, but some of the changes that Tazi undergoes (which are later magically reversed) and some of the enemies she overcomes are a little hard to swallow.
All that being said, this is a good novel and Whitney-Robinson writes well.
