Coldheart is an enjoyable enough adventure story with some fun squashy body horror and a really good dynamic between the Doctor, Fitz, and Compassion. Trevor Baxendale is one of the few authors who can write Fitz in a way that doesn't drive me up the wall, and Compassion finally gets some actual plot time and character developments

I just wish there had been more then two (2) female characters, one of who is a slave who never talks and dies horribly.
