Wonderful

This is a wonderfully written book that has beautifully portrayed characters. Its presentation of homosexual love is sensitive and not mocking (people in this universe do not care about sexual orientation - the people are bisexual). It has a fine mix of humor with seriousness. This book can be read alone from the other books in the series (the books are standalones within the same universe), and is probably the best in the series (although The Stone Prince completes for this honor).

Impressed yet again

Once again, I enjoyed reading "The Painter Knight" as much as "The Stone Prince" and "The Granite Shield". Though I read them a little out of order, I was taken by her style and fluidity of storytelling from the first book. Fionna Patton brings yet another era in the life of the Flame to life, the power of the Gods in the lives of It's followers drawing you in. The rich descriptions of events and the depth of the characters, makes reading the book all that more enjoyable. I was pulled in from the start. I'm very eager to see what she comes up with next.

Excellent

I enjoyed the book, I found that the characters were engaging and that it was very easy to get drawn into the book. The plot and the richness of the storyline was quite impressive. It is rare that I find so good an author, and one that I want to keep going back to.

It's burning good!

Wow. I must say, it's been a long time since I've read a book that I've had to pry from my hands so I'll STOP reading it! The characters are so engaging it makes even a conservative like me overlook their strange roles in the society she's created. A must read!

Stone Prince A Wonderful Book

If you liked Fiona Patton's Stone Prince then you'll definetely enjoy this novel. It has everything the Stone Prince had, and more. I highly recommend this book to anyone
