I had a mixed reaction to this book. I enjoyed having two kick-ass women fighting injustice, but there was something off about the composition. It felt like it was a collection of short stories woven together after the fact and made into a novel. While that's not always bad, it didn't feel seamless. I have to give props to Lackey though, she wrote a bold feminist fantasy novel in the 80's. I read this book because I'm doing a Grand Master challenge based around Lackey. She won the honor last year, and on World Without End's site, it's become a tradition to have a challenge based on the honoree from the previous year.
