So first off, I’ve got to say that this begins with one of my favourite chapters, maybe ever. It’s funny, well constructed and leads perfectly into the rest of the novel.

And what a novel it is. Lindon has spent the past year training to fight Jai Long, learning a new destructive path in the process. Will he succeed?

This is a book that packs a lot into it. While the initial focus is the duel it also deals a lot with the consequences of it. The humour and the action that by this time you’ve come to expect are all there. There’s also more nice character moments and the world is expanded even more. It’s still a short book, there’s only 285 pages according to my Kindle, but every page is well utilised.

By this point, if you’re like me, you’re probably fully on board at this point and this review will matter little. So if you’re even slightly wavering I’ll just say, this book continues the series you’ve come to expect.
