Review:

This is an interesting series, although I did not like the cliff hanger at the end.  In some ways, this is starting to feel like batman.  The protagonist finds himself in impossible situations, but manages to escape every time.  The "bad guys" have a habit of putting him in grueling situations, but don't finish him off.  In a similar position, however, the protagonist does not go through lengthy situations to make his opponents suffer, he just bashes heads.  Until the end of this book, I attributed that to his being a thief at heart, but with the end of this book, that went away.  Who knows, maybe he and the Risen Martyr are well matched.
