The second book in the Record Of Lodoss War series is a entertaining exploration of the magical world that we were introduced to in the first book, the simple classical adventure of the first book is not as present here, however we are given more development for how Parn and Deedlit’s dynamic work, it’s great how convincing their fast growing relationship is while also giving us these solo development, with how they perceive the troubles of the desert region!
One side of me wanted more of the first book, more of that childhood dreamlike journey that they had, however one side of me also appreciate that the author just let that story rest and decided to show us more of the world and it’s history, in the end I enjoyed it and can’t wait to get my hands on the next one!
