I was surprised that KB was able to get that narrative flow going that is missing in many first novels. Early Ed Greenwood had some clunky phrasing that would make the novel's immersion fall apart. CoT was very well done. My only minor quibble was that a few of the descriptive sections felt like KB had his "campaign setting book" voice on. Some of that was to be expected since this novel was to introduce Sharn to novel readers who do not read the supplements for games. But sometimes it felt almost like it was cut and pasted from the setting book.I did like the balance in terms of action vs. thought. not too much of either, i am not fond of the trend in books to write like it is an action movie script.Without spoilers, The Goblin girl's return was very obvious, after she got saved on the lift by the group you knew she would show up later to save their hides in return. Try being a little more subtle with the NPCs ...But I am not slamming it, so far I really like it and hope to catch KB at Gencon to autograph it.</blockquote>
