Just finished it and have to say it was excellent. I didn't care for some of the Shadow books, but this one brought back a lot of what I liked from the original series. There were lots of different plot threads and enough action to keep it interesting throughout. Proof to me that Orson Scott Card still has it.
I also loved learning about this part of the story. It was referenced in the other books and I think it really helps round out the whole story for me. It was a story that needed to be told.
