I’m not going home. Of that, I am certain.
And anyway, who would want to? Folotelyn Kyanite is the best thing that ever happened to me. She’s kind, caring, drop dead gorgeous and with her best friend, and my second wife, Alfofida, the beautiful, intelligent inventor. Well, they make one hell of a pair.
The politics of this world be damned. I’ve got things settling in pretty well right now. Except after delivering the badly wounded Kiggaelin to her father. I was sent back with Elder Obsidian to seal the tunnel and cement my permanence on this world. All the while, Kiggaelin was at home, dying.
Her father, furious at having his attempts to have me killed and the other elders humiliated, is going to have his daughter’s death placed firmly in my hands. A last ditch effort to hold me accountable for his perceived wrongs.
I can only hope that when the dust settles, we can live with the consequences.

my only wobble is the pacing. Dorf politics goes from 0 to 100, with all these apparent rules that challenge Tobias, yet somehow there's no counters or any evidence the other Senior Dorfs are as equally conniving.
then there's the pace with the orc invasion, that feels very sudden and dramatic but gets kind of left.
last is the coup - again this is a pacing issue, but also hits the "how did that happen" mark. we've heard how house Obsidian are the most amazing combatants and terrifying to face... and yet we get the ending we do. i hope that gets answered because it feels like the enemy has assassin's and troops to yank out of thin air at a moments notice and undermines the solid and established capability in the story characters.
overall, a solid entry.
a solid sequel that leaves a few questions
