Better than the previous one. More things happens and the book has a clear ending. Still one thing that bothers me: every damn character with a title that tells the others to drop the honorifics....first time OK, second time OK, third time mmmh, twentieth time i would like to shoot the book. Hope in the next book Jordan dropped this annoying habit.

A truly fine read. Not many series have their sequels better than the first installment. A Stolen Crown took of nicely from where A New Age ended, and it didn't disappoint. What's more, it even got better. The writing is fantastic. It's so good that you're swept into the story as you read it. You hear the clashing of steel, the chanting of mages and the screams of dying men. The book is so real! Another thing the author brings is the establishment of the unique cultures of the various peoples in the story. Makes it even more intriguing. I also like the way the plot is gradually expanding. Most epic fantasy series usually start out with a bang and then continue from there. This one starts simple and then slowly but steadily begins to unravel into more complex forms. Makes for even more intrigue and unpredictability. It's a toss up as to the better series of this particular one and the Falling Kingdoms series. I think this one just edges out Falling Kingdoms a bit. All in all, great read.

The storyline is good. Needs editing...BADLY! Normally I would not get the second book in a series with the lack of editing that this book has, however, I find myself curious as to where the characters will lead me next, and thus will be ordering the next book. I do hope this author has found an editor for their other books. I had to reread numerous lines to make sense of the wording.

So this book took me only 1day to read. I dont know whether I was just so engrossed in the story (which was a nailbiter) or whether the book was one of the shortest I've read. Regardless, it was a nice continuation that slowly started to reveal new layers behind the initially plain characters. I look forward to #3

Great follow up

to the first book but I really wish they'd correct the syntax, grammar, and spelling errors that are much worse in this sequel than the first book.

A Stolen Crown

Only one complaint. The editing. Incomplete sentences and missing words that distracted the rhythm of the book. Very good book.
