I'd do nothing but reading if I could (ok, maybe eat some great food, buy some fancy shoes between two books...oh, and spend some quality time with the gorgeous guy I married while I am on reading-break anyway...)
Which means interesting world-building (set in the same universe as the Emperor's Edge series), great rich characters, funny banter, a romance (a bit of the cleaner side, but with delicious tension).
I enjoyed it a lot and will read the other two in the series as well.
