This was a pretty great book. The protagonists: Rik and the Townman were not my favourite characters but I really enjoyed the antagonists: the Great Squires and their conflict with the Trantorian, Abel. The high politics was a lot more pronounced in this book which I loved. The twist that the Townman was X all along was not my favourite one, it makes sense considering his radical ideology to fight Sark and Trantor but I think it could have been more interesting if it really was Fife all along. Nonetheless I greatly enjoyed this story!
