I wavered between liking this and disliking this but it became a solid three stars for the ending. Dust and Light started off slow for me, I wasn't sure I would keep on reading, but since I didn't really have anything else and I was at work with some extra time to kill, I kept going and eventually became invested in the story and wanting to know what was going on. There were some close calls, that temple scene nearly turned me off completely, but the mystery and whether or not justice would show up intrigued me. (view spoiler)[ Justice did not show up. Well i guess only partial justice, but then again if you want to be realistic Justice is sadly not a big part of politics. Particularly if the people in charge are greedy self serving jerks. (hide spoiler)] 
 I'll probably pick up the next book but it'll be in a few months or so.
