BRIEF SYNOPSIS: Drothe, now a Gray Prince, journeys to a foreign land to track down his best friend, only to find himself trapped in a hostile city with dangerous people and factions calling for his blood.

RATING:

MY REVIEW
PROS: A more complex plot; intriguing and likeable new characters; greater exploration of the world and its lore.
CONS: Still continues with a too-short time frame; twists and turns are frequent and over-dramatic.
BOTTOM LINE: An improvement on Among Thieves that continues to be enjoyable and compelling.
