The good: Finally picks up where Darian's Tale left off 25 years ago. Promises to eventually shed more light on the consequences of the Cataclysm. Darian himself only appears briefly, but the main character is his gryphon friend Kelvren, alongside Firesong (again) and his partner Silverfox, plus a new Valdemaran soldier named Hallock.

The bad: Takes no time to fill in backstory for a reader who might not already be familiar with the characters and events of Darian's Tale and the Mage Storms trilogy - just half a page of "prologue" outlining the current conflict. Pacing is extremely uneven throughout.

And now I'm effectively caught up until the sequel to this book comes out next year.
