The Charnel Prince by Greg Keyes

Keyes does good work.  I enjoyed the book.  There are a wealth of characters and some of them die.  Treachery and disturbing rites abound.  Keyes provides serious depth and color to his characters.  There is action, magic, as well as monsters, knights, musicians, and interesting animals. 

This is a rich and occasionally disturbing fantasy.  I am impressed with Keyes.  The series is good and he does a decent closure but leaves the story open for the next book.  

I recommend it.
