It does make sense--looking back I think I felt the same way. |

It does (and for the record, I didn't much care for Tazi's novel). |

I really liked the idea that even though Tazi and her mother are like oil and water, they obviously have a lot in common. It was also interesting to get some glimpses of Tazi's interactions with the other siblings in this piece.
I liked Steorf and almost felt sorry for him when Tazi found out about him working for her father. I can understand that he was doing his job, and yet I still feel like he did care about Tazi. The brief interaction with Cale was interesting as well.
It was a bit shocking to see Tazi's life of adventure turn more serious, not because her life was in danger, but because of what she had to do in order to limit her opponent's source of power. I imagine this will have a drastic effect on her.
Moreso than the other stories I read so far, this one feels like its setting up Tazi's book in the Sembia series. I have no problem with that, but from this story on, the anthology could have ended nearly every one of the stories with a "to be continued in . . . "
