After Trickster’s Choice, I had to find out what happened to
Aly and the family she serves. She’s fully made the transition from slave to
spymaster, and because of a little gift from the god who got her into this
mess, her side has massively better communications than the other side. I found
this plot to be a lot more predictable than the first book--there was one major
surprise, which I can’t reveal without spoiling the book for you, but I found
the way it was handled unconvincing.
Still a fun read. I feel like this pair of books was written
with a screen adaptation in mind--the more ham-fisted plot devices felt
designed to play well on the big screen with lots of CGI. Props to Trini
Alvarado, who read both volumes perfectly.
