Without his Prismic abilities, how will he ever get back to his wife and the Chromeria? Meanwhile, Gavin has been captured by crazy pirate Gunner, made an oar slave. With all these different factions moving against each other, Kip and his Blackguard friends will need all their wits about them to survive.
To make matters worse, a mysterious order of assassins is recruiting, and Teia is in their sights. With the Prism, Gavin Guile, missing, presumed dead, there's no one to keep everyone in line - except Andross Guile, who's manipulating everyone towards his own end. In the sheltered islands of the Jaspers, the Colors are moving against each other in a much more covert war for power. The Color Prince may not have succeeded in keeping hold of his super powerful Banes yet, but he's steadily moving through the Satrapies, burning and killing everything in his path all the same. War is coming to the Seven Satrapies - not that most of the people in power want to admit it. It's still enjoyable reading, but I don't like the world or the characters enough to need quite this many words dedicated to them. I just want Weeks to get on with it a bit now.
Summary: Lots to enjoy still, but ultimately this book is something of a frustration.
