Title: Lawrence does it again
Review: It's been a long time since I enjoyed reading a fantasy novel this much. While a long time fan of this author, I think this is one of his best efforts since the publication of the Overman series. This book in the classic "person wronged and getting even" genre like the "Count of Monte Cristo". In fact, the main character, Arlian, follows a very similar path, from a boyhood cut short by being sold into slavery, to his eventual escape and plan to revenge himself on those who did this to him by posing as a Lord and getting wealthy from a hidden stash. I could hardly put it down. It's a definite must read for anyone who has admired Lawrence Watt-Evans' books as long as I have, and for anyone who wants to try him out for the first time. An excellent work of fantasy.
