Is this part of the Rift/Serpent War saga?

 

[nixie]

No its from his new series King of Ashes being the first.

@ Nixie, what did you think of 'Queen of Storms' - I liked it, but it seemed short. Agree with your assessment of King of Ashes - not ground breaking, so of the usual tropes - but entertaining without asking too much of the reader. Hoping the third isn't too far away.

 

[nixie]

I liked Queen of Storms, like you found it a little short. Really looking forward to the next book.
I do see similarities to his other works, he really does like his assassins and thieves. Hats off to him for given women more prominent roles in this series.

 

[Justin_B]

Yes! I really enjoyed his Mistress of the Empire collaboration with Janny Wurts, and Miranda later in the Riftwar saga.

 

[nixie]

Now I always found Miranda annoying.
Mara of the Acoma was brilliant, I think a lot of that was due to Janny Wurts.

Names are escaping me for the moment but the female lead in this series seems more real than Miranda ever did.

 

[Justin_B]

Hava? Definitely more rounded out as a character.
At least Feist hasn't gotten as repetitive as Edding's did.

 

[nixie]

Hava is probably my favourite character.

Too engrossed in Sanderon's Rhythm of War at moment, not thinking clearly

 

[Justin_B]

Not familiar with that Title, not sure I've read anything by Sanderson.
Will have to look it up
