Mysterious, indomitable warrior? Ruthless criminal overlord? The Riel'gesh - mythical demigod? Dedicated friend and protector? Rezkin's identities are known only to him, with even his closest allies oblivious to his secrets. But the truth of his creation is the one answer that remains elusive. His only clue points to Striker Farson, an elite soldier rumored to be at the greatest dueling championship in all the kingdoms. Under the guise of a nobleman, Rezkin embarks for the King's Tournament. The honorable contest of blades is marred by fears of economic collapse, rumors of an eminent military draft, and the machinations of a mad, tyrannical king. Surrounded by intrigue and beset by foes, Rezkin dons a new identity to get close to the fighters. And who better than a dark legend come to life...?

More of the same that I complained about from the first book.
Main character breezes through every challenge without even breathing hard (literally). Absolutely no sense of tension or suspense because he simply cannot lose.
Completely meaningless death at the end, likely to make us think that there are actual stakes to everything happening. Spoiler alert: there aren't. That character had like 3 minutes of total lines throughout two books. Could have never existed and it would be practically the same.
I gave it two books. Don't care enough to read the rest of them. The “mystery” isn't enough to keep me slogging through.
I'm being generous with two stars for each. Could have easily been 1*, but I don't want to be too big of a jerk.
