Sarah Ash, Tracing the Shadow
Bantam (2006) ISBN: 978-0-533-80519-2
Score: 0

Start of a trilogy set in the same world as her Tears of Artamon trilogy. This is a prequel trilogy, though I had to go to the author's website to find that out; there's no hint of it on the cover nor in the first 150 pages (I recognized one character and a couple other names, but couldn't remember if they survived the previous book). I didn't like any of the new protagonists, and the uncertainly about the timing really bugged me; the author rarely gives any hint how much time passes between scenes (and scenes from different POVs aren't always in chronological order), so it seems like it only takes a couple hours to travel between any two points on the map. And then I learned a journey took several months, completely jarring me out of the story.

Next Book: Joel Shepherd, Killswitch
