Perimadeia is the famed Triple City and the mercantile capital of the known world. Behind its allegedly impregnable walls, everything is available--including information that will allow its enemies to plan one of the most devastating sieges of all time. The man called upon to defend Perimadeia is Bardas Loredan, a fencer-at-law, weary of his work and the world. For Loredan is one of the surviving members of Maxen's Pitchfork, the legendary band of soldiers who waged war on the Plains tribes, rendering an attack on Perimadeia impossible. Until now, that is. But Loredan has problems of his own. In a city where court cases are settled by lawyers arguing with swords not words, enemies are all too easily made. And by winning one particular case, Loredan has unwittingly become the target of a young woman bent on revenge. The last thing he needs is the responsibility of saving a city.

动作、铸造、制造的描述是不是太多了一点啊?人物塑造地是不是多而又杂了点儿?好在没有一不小心就死一片,不过也是死了很多有名无名的人啊。因为是后续三部曲,不好说是否铺垫如何如何的。

人物合理,但没什么魅力。剧情其实就是城市被攻破的描述,然后穿插元理,异能、法庭剑士等等的描写。 不知道这个系列的重点是什么? (科幻世界译文版18年10月和12月)
