It was fun to fill in the middle part of the story, after having read the third book. I enjoyed this one, because it described the mythical city of Zarbadast, and we get acquainted with Prince Basaal's brothers and fathers. Eleanor continues to exhibit royal and noble behavior throughout, despite falling in love with the Prince. They agree their countries come first...Queen Eleanor's journey back to Aemgen is the beginning of the end of this part of the story.
Quietly enjoyable, a little repetitive, not too much character development, and some beautiful descriptions of interesting landscapes. Not worth recommending, but a good foray into fantasy for me. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, and I only took this one on because of the author's other work. Still awaiting news about Book 9 of The Unselected Journals of Emma M. Lion!
