4/20/12: Some of his descriptive terms are difficult to understand. '...his dark mantle trailing him as if he were a bridegroom come to enter his final covenant.' When this phrase was used to describe the movement of Maldea/Quietus' cape, I was stumped. Still am. Oh, and '...the depths of the morning stretched above.' So, is it the wee hours of the morning, or late morning, or what? 4/26/12: Despite the occasional obscure descriptive term, this book was enjoyable. The dialogue felt natural, and I liked the characters. I do wish the author had delved more into the struggles of the characters, and exposed more of their motivations. Despite this flatness, the story line was entertaining, and seemed to progress logically or naturally. Don't know that I'd read the rest of the series, but it was a good book.
