I liked it. Seemed to have more action than the previous book.

I have read it. I won't spoil details, but Merlin solves the problem of appearing to be at more than one place at the same time (with two different methods). There is also a small discussion about the Gbaba. Lots of big troop movements and battles. As usual, lots of detailed discussion of how to design and mass produce revised weapons - including on the Temple side as well as the Charisian side. The Army of God has big supply problems.
On a personal note, for some reason, though not bothered by it before, I got pissed at the variant name spellings.
