I got my copy on Friday and I'm 75 pages in. It's so good! I've enjoyed every Jeggare and Radovan story so far, but this one hooked me earlier, is delivering the camaraderie of the two protagonists to the degree that I've found missing in most of the earlier ones in the series, and is tied perfectly to the current happenings in Golarion. If you haven't picked up a Pathfinder Tales novel in a while, make this your return to the fold.
This book should be required reading for players embarking upon the Wrath of the Rightous AP.
Also, I agree that this is the best of the Jeggare/ Radovan stories. It inspired me to re-read the entire Jeggare/ Radovan series of books.
Also, it was really nice to see Paladins that, were good, instead of paladins that though Lawful Good by alignment are in reality bad people (like we saw in The Worldwound Gambit).

To be fair, the paladin that had gone bad in the Worldwound Gambit was no longer Lawful Good--he'd been thoroughly corrupted and acting as an agent of the demons. Others had been actively possessed by shadow demons.
While I'm all for moral ambiguity and alignment corner cases, that wasn't intended to be an example of that. :)
(In fact, if you didn't notice, one of the paladins in King of Chaos was actually one of the same crusaders who had been possessed in Worldwound Gambit and subsequently exorcised, and is now a good guy again, doing his best to win back his colleagues' trust...)

The paladin from the previous J&R story was certainly on the edge of being evil though...
what with her smiting down Radovan when an *actual* fiend was holding him...

To be fair, one doesn't have to be evil to want to smite Radovan sometimes.
GREAT READING!!! Finished the book a week ago, could not put it down! Now my favorite author! (: Would LOVE to see the 2 main characters done by WizKids!
