[Lew · Rating 4 out of 5]

I have enjoyed this book the second of a trilogy. It did seem to be a bit longer than the first. At times, McQuinn slows the story to describe how things are done in the time period of this story. I wasn't totally pleased on some of the outcomes at the end but I'm still willing to see how it all ends in the final book. Sometimes you just wish some of the main characters would be like Indiana Jones and the evil guy with the whip and just pull out his pistol and shot some of the evil people in the book. Still a good story line across the first two books.

This series is what got me to love sci-fi/fantasy genre back in my teens. And I haven't looked back yet. I highly recommend this series.

Good but a little overly long.
