I gave the first book in this series 3 out of 5 stars because I thought the first 20 hours or so were boring, but the last 10 were great. This one was just great all the way through. Really cool setup, great characters and lots of political intrigue with more magic being constantly added. The narrator is really great too if you're doing the audio. At this point in the series, each member of the royal family is participating in some kind of adventure and the queen's story just keeps getting darker. The good guys seem to be in real trouble, so I'm very curious how good will conquer evil, or not.
