Yes, it was good. It's in her 500 Kingdoms series. I really liked it. I have been a little disappointed in her recently, though. Her editors are real crap for almost all her recent books.

I don't really have much of an opinion on that matter, the only books I've read of hers that were recently put out were the Collegium Chronicles, and those seemed perfectly fine to me.

I've read all of her 500 Kingdoms, and the Valdemar books, so I pick up on it all. The newer stuff has details wrong and spelling errors and all sorts of things. Not enough to make me stop reading her, but enough to annoy the heck out of me.

I'll have to pay more attention next time. I'm so used to finding spelling errors and such that I generally forget about them unless it makes the sentence extremely memorable.

IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THE EXILE'S DUOLOGY - THERE IS A SPOILER!
The biggest issue I can remember is that in the Valdemar books, Rolan is used in the Collegium Chronicles, but in The Exile's duology, Taver was killed and replaced by Rolan. So far, I still have to read Changes, so maybe she explains in that that they get recycled or something.

Life has kicked me in the a** as well.
Though I hope to do some reading over Spring Break.
