The plot of this book was a good one, and it was nicely written and have characters that are somewhat cliched, but still interesting enough and developed in a good steady pace. The protagonists are seeking to liberate a city from oppressive control by evil self-serving forces. It's set in the Forgotten Realms and I would say that fans of the setting or of the Harpers would do no wrong reading this, as they'll definitely find things to like.
