The writing is still as remarkable, the sense of the characters' psychology is perfectly described. This approach makes us very close, and we really eager to follow their adventures. The author will get us into a world where intrigues are really the corridors of power. It will also be a magnificent cloak-and sword, a little more classic than the first volumes.
