In book 3 of this saga, Coe continues the theme I have seen developing in this series of a nearly unlimited evil being fought by ordinary men and women as well as essentially lower level magics. He builds upon the relations of three key Qirsi (the sorcerer race) -- Grinsa, Cressene, and Keziah.
Cadel's life is a major sub-plot in this book as chapters are devoted in whole or part to learning more about what drives him to the big duel.
Spoiler: Tavis manages to realize his two biggest goals so far in the series. He is able to duel Cadel/Corbin and he is able to clear his name. However, these come at a great cost: the lesson that desire and results do not always lead to happiness.

Welcome to a new rant....
Please be patient with me. I've never written any reviews of the works I've read before for public consumption. Please, comment (moderated), and let me know what you think, and if I should change my format.
