Synopsis:
|
Lynx is wandering
and comes into a small town. He accidentally kills an employee of the
local warlord. He is then made Reeve by an enterprising old woman and
has to survive the wrath of Therien, the man he has bucked.
After killing half
of Therien's crew, Lynx proposes a duel of mage pistols at dawn and
Therien agrees, knowing that if he kills Lynx, he will then be the
legitimate authority in the town. Lynx simply snipes him and heads
out of town.

My
Thoughts:
|
This was a story of Lynx before he joined up with the Cards.
Honestly, I was expecting a prequel novella to book 3, much like
Honour Under Moonlight leads up to Princess of Blood.
Seeing what Lynx dealt with as an ex-Hanese soldier wandering
around was enlightening and it definitely made him a slighter fuller
figure (ha, yes, that is a pun on him being fat).
Knowing Lynx from the previous books and novella, I suspected that
the ending would go the way it did. Lynx is pragmatic until it runs
counter to his set of morals. Sniping a warlord who had used his
underlings to try to kill him presented no moral qualms for Lynx.
★★★★☆
