The loyal stableboy Rap had fought through hell and high water to rescue Inos, his queen. But once he did, he found that she had already married the accursed Sultan Azak, who had despoiled her beauty. As Inos follows her destiny, and Azak his, Rap awaits his fate at the hands of torturers....
Urgh. The first 2/3, wonderful, as enjoyable as the first book. The last 1/3 was almost torture.
Authors: it is Incredibly Annoying when your characters keep themselves apart from one another because of Mysterious Reasons they won't tell one another Or Even the Reader. Nobody likes this. It is not clever, it is not suspenseful, it is not exciting, it is just Tedious.
So 5 stars for the 1st third, 5 stars for the middle, 2 stars for the last third, averaged (5 5 2 = 12, / 3 = 4).
(Note: 5 stars = amazing, wonderful, 4 = very good book, 3 = decent read, 2 = disappointing, 1 = awful, just awful. I'm fairly good at picking for myself so end up with a lot of 4s). I feel a lot of readers automatically render any book they enjoy 5, but I grade on a curve! ( )
Synopsis: Now married to the cursed Sultan Azak, Princess Inos finally heads to the capital city to plead her case in front of the wardens, as stable boy Rap rushes to meet her and embrace his destiny.

The voice I hear this passing night was heard In ancient days, by emperor and clown: Perhaps the self-same song that found a path Through the sad heart of Ruth, when sick for home, She stood in tears amid the alien corn; The same that oft-times hath Charmed magic casements, opening on the foam Of perilous seas, in faery lands forlorn.
Keats, Ode to a Nightingale

Of all the cities of Pandemia, only Hub had no legend or history of its founding. Hub was a legend in its own right, and history was its creation.
