[inlibrisveritas]

I love that this installement actually acknowledges the basic prejudice that each "side" has to the other, but it still falls short of actually flipping the script on it. Still it's an incredibly enjoyable addition to the series and it even includes the very thing that captured my interest back in middle school, riddles.
The cast of characters is quite fantastic as well, I adore Cregga and Nimbalo. I do wish we had gotten to see more of how Dayna fit into everything before the overall wrap up of the novel, but regardless it was a fun read.
