[Pam · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is the second in a seven book series about an epic journey by a group of teenagers and their protectors to save and return the world to its previous state after the "collapse of the universes." As with the first book, it is not as complex as Terry Brooks or Tolkien although in this book there are a couple of subplots that begin to emerge, making it, in my opinion, a little more enjoyable than the first book. I currently reading the third book, Abuud the One-Eyed God, and am hoping that the series will continue to progress as nicely as the second book did from the first. Overall, I think anyone who enjoys fantasy fiction, particularly epic good versus evil fiction, will enjoy this book.

Eager for more

Following this group has been a joy. Rach character has their own flaws and strong points. I can picture them clearly when I am reading. Though I do picture Tanya as a brunette. But even so, I am enjoying this journey and am eager to get back to it.

Read by the author, who is a terrible reader. The recording also tends to cut off the end of chapters. Interesting enough I will probably keep going, for a fantasy series. But does drag a bit.

See my review for # 1 of the series- poor dialogue writing, generally immature.
