Interesting premise becomes weighted down by too much game simulation and political intrigue and poor character development By Catherine Mackay This was an ok read, but I can't say I was dazzled by the book. This is not to say the premise was bad, on the the contrary, it was quite interesting - just not executed well and was so slow moving that I quickly became bored. The author has done a good job creating a complex, layered world whose plot is one of political intrigue created by the death of the Empress Oriana Silvertree. Her will nominates Keira Renault as her successor and here lies the problem - he is a man raised to the minor nobility rank and is not a Silvertree relative. Many of the higher nobles are aggrieved, particularly those who are related to the Silvertrees and use the Convention (rules the nobility subscribe to) in order to challenge Keira's right to be next Emperor. However, the Convention lays out the duties of the nobility and their obligations to the commoners and prevents the un-necessary deaths of said commoners. Instead, simulation games are used by the nobility to challenge one another - these are quite realistic and the nobility must abide by the results. In addition, the nobility use their Talants (not particularly well described by the author and I was somewhat muddled by what they specifically were) to computate the various simulation outcomes. Overall, the novel had some good ideas, but while strong on setting, it lacked character development - I didn't relate to any of the characters - the action was sporadic and the book felt weighted down by the political game-play and simulations. The book itself would have also benefited by a glossary of some kind as there were technical and cultural terms specific to the novel's setting and sometimes it was confusing what the object or cultural reference meant. The author has included some of the character list at the beginning, but this was simply inadaquate to give context to the novel.
