Another great novel by Mr. Connolly.
Do you have one of those authors that when you read his or her book you wonder why in the hell they are not more successful and why hasn't everyone wanted to read this?
Mr. Connolly's novels have done that for me. I stumbled upon Child of Fire a few years back, and fell in love with the Twenty Palaces series that was a bummer of being cut short.

I really enjoy Mr. Connolly's creations when he creates these new 'rules' for magic in his work they are not too contrived or to burdensome. just enough mysticalsim to explain them naturally as part of the conversation but not be too in your face or too hidden.
This was one of those I had to finish once I started type of novels. Great characters, a nice twist and turn through the story, plenty of side stories all coming together at the end.
