Have just lost the *second* review of this book, and this one was finished and just getting tweaked, so is most frustrating. Briefly, I had gone on at length about the major problem I had with this book, which was an anachronistic presentation of the way one of the three main characters reacted to slavery. The kingdom of the title is Farsala (lightly fictionalised and fantasized ancient Persia), and it's a pretty rotten one, unless you're a deghan (noble). Farsala is about to be attacked by the Hrum, who are pretty much the Romans. There are detailed descriptions of how the Hrum treat their own people and their (many) former enemies, and everything the character is told about the Hrum by the Hrum is verified by disinterested reports. It is infinitely fairer than Farsala, and even their slaves have rights and protections, unlike the so-called free people of Farsala. Despite this, the fact that the Hrum do have slaves becomes the sole reason for the character to make a massive about-face turn - an extremely important one for the next books in the series. This seriously weakened the book for me, because I loved the political discussions and ruminations, and wanted the character's thinking to be consistent with the world depicted. Instead, slavery became the absolute deal-breaker it would be for a modern reader. That out of my system, I liked Kavi far more than the other two protagonists, and found him much more interesting as a character. The fact that friends have said the same and like the rest of the series even more than this gives me hope. Oh, and these are fellow Megan Whalen Turner fans, though Kavi is no Gen. Then again, NOBODY except Gen is Gen.
