- not as good as what went before.
Considering what is comming in the next book i did expect alot more from this book , the sea battles seem to be getting shorter and considering what i have read in the previus books its just not up to kents standard.

- Not one of Kent's best
The writing is starting to get too much into the details of the various personalities. Once again poor Thomas is all over the map of his feelings towards richard and Kate.
