Beka and her friends will face their greatest and most important challenge ever when the young heir to the kingdom vanishes. They will be sent out of Corus on a trail that appears and disappears, following a twisting road throughout Tortall. It will be her greatest Hunt... if she can survive the very powerful people who do not want her to succeed in her goal.

Good as all Tamora Pierce's books are, but I found it surprisingly easy to put down, and thus it took me a lot longer to read than I would have ever expected. It had some terrific parts though - e.g. Beka's relationship with the King and Queen and Master Farmer. I loved Achoo and even started liking Pounce again.

It'll never be my favourite series in the Tortall universe, but not my least favourite series either, and I did appreciate the link to George's history.
