Review title: Don't bother starting this series.
Product review: Dave Duncan's wonderful series, "A Man of His Word", ended very well. So well, in fact, that one doesn't need this contrived story to continue the storyline. This book starts another 4-book series that picks up about 15 years after the previous series. This book actually deserves 2-3 stars, but the ending to the series is SO bad, that one shouldn't even begin it. Yes, it really is that bad. Book four deserves negative points, were it possible.
