I am truly excited and enthused by this book. The baddie is not only wonderfully insane but she’s female! For her moments of time in this novel the Queen is wonderfully heinous. She’s made great sacrifices to get what she wants and, again in the spirit of the strong women, she may not be able to interact specifically but she’s directing traffic as much as she can. Charlton makes some unexpected moves in “Citadel of Lies” and does so quite convincingly. Charlton’s biography cites that she loves epic fantasy and she has clearly made a study of how to do it right.

As with the first novel Seth, Eni and Val live three separate storylines for the vast majority of the work. The shift in point of view could be quite jarring but Charlton manages a narrative with an organic flow. In some cases she breaks up action scenes but is able to return to them without leaving the reader behind.

If I had to nitpick something I didn’t like about “Citadel of Lies” it would be that there was a very slight inconsistency of dialogue. There are times when the language is very formal and then a character would lapse into a more comfortable (for the reader) patter. These shifts were rare enough that I feel this novel retains its five star status.

If you like epic fantasy you will love The Palâdnith Chronicles. I highly recommend this series.
