poisonenvy's review against another edition
2.0
This book is much better than Knights of the Crown. Green seems to have fixed his issue with painfully awkward sentences, describing in loving detail how people's teeth look, and peppering every other sentence with terrible analogies. So, thank god for that.
I still sometimes felt like I had missed entire pages that talked about people's motivations for the things they did; a lot of it just didn't seem to make sense. It was a lot easier to follow than the previous novel though. Green still has an issue with leaving maddening, unexplained loose ends (why minotaur ships attacked and slaughtered every human ship they came to last book, though I'm still sort of hoping one of the next two will explain that, even if over a decade has passed since then. In this book, a magical flood that is never explained washes soldiers away? Why is there a random magical flood?)
Anyway, I hope that the other two books improve as much as this one has.
