Oathbreakers (Vows and Honor, #2)

Reading 100 books in 2010; reviews will be short for a while 'til I catch up blogging with what I've already read this year.
This book made a Mercedes Lackey fan out of me; I was lukewarm about the first one in the series and it had many of the flaws a first novel might. It's amazing how much Lackey grows as an artist between the first novel in the series and the second; better writing, even at the sentence level, better plotting, and more polish in general to go with her two wonderful characters of Keth and Tarma, who wind up trying to find out what happened to, and eventually avenging the death of Idrys, the commander of their military unit. Tight storytelling, satisfying ending, great sense of the world set right at the end.
