Reviews

[Cyne · Rating 4 out of 5]

The story is good, but the writing is even clunkier than the last book. It might have been just my edition, but there were several glaring errors that even Microsoft Word would catch, spelling "Bixei" as "Bixie", commas instead of periods, and the rest of a line randomly starting a new paragraph.
Aside from the mechanics, Benjamin has a love of repeating himself. Yes, I know that Master Den, the laundryman, is ChiChu, the trickster god, you told me that in the last book, you don't need to repeat it every time that character is mentioned. Benjamin's style is already rough enough that the additional copyediting errors almost made this book three stars, but I realized that it isn't the author's fault and the story is actually really good and I wouldn't want someone to pass over this book just because of the mechanical errors.

There are a lot of things that happen in this book and few of them feel important or consequential. There's a too short bit in a desert oasis that would have been very interesting and then a long bit in a Harnish camp that takes FOREVER. It's an okay story but probably could've been easier to deal with as an extension of the first and third books.

I think I'll wait a few books before I finish the third. This one was a bit of a slog.

The quest continues to regain the Gates of Heaven as Llesho makes his way into enemy territory. This is one exciting tale of mystery and magic. More dragons, more gods and more brothers. Great read and looking forward to book 3: The Gates of Heaven.

Curt Benjamin's Seven Brothers series has improved in this, the second in the series. I enjoyed reading it.

It might not be too profound, but I got hooked immediately. And apparently I'm not the only one. All in all, this was one of the most entertaining books that I've read.
