I like the books Mercedes Lackey writes, she is good at creating a believable world and people to populate it. While her writing is not the strongest I do find it engaging ang and enjoyable. I like a series I can live inside of and her books are ones that have characters I feel invested in and a world I believe could exist. ( )

The mage storms are sweeping over the alliance and the surrounding countries and the artificers of Valdemar have deduced that things are going to get really serious.

Meanwhile the Imperial commander Arch Duke Tremane has to make a decision; stay loyal to am Empire that appears to have abandoned him or ensure the safety of his troops, and not so incidently, the civilians of Hardorn?

Meanwhile, the alliance works out that a counterstrike set off at one of the focus points would cancel outt he effects of the storms but with one of the focal point under a see-sized lake, only the near mystical Mage of Silence's tower was available but under the control of the Shin'a'an who allowed no mages anywhere near the remnants of his tower.

Karal, the young Karsite priest remains a pivotal character, if even more annoyingly reasonable and nice, though his girl friend Natoli may be even more irritating... ( )

Not a bad middle book; but the author's handling of Tremayne (ensuring his eventual death in any real world, although perhaps Lackey didn't understand this) bothered me. ( )
