Great Epic Fantasy
Talking mystical and noble horses, wolves and Eagles, a magic sword acquired through hardship and perseverance, evil villains and monsters and an honest, humble, strong and brave hero whose perseverance, support of his friends, commitment to his ideals and love of a beautiful, warm hearted woman keep him battling the forces of evil. How can you go wrong? Occasionally predictable, but never dull nor drenched in the excessive description of battle or bedroom scenes that seem to ruin so many of the stories I read these days, I am thoroughly enjoying this series.

This story line deserves a 5 star rating.
Mr. Hilton is killing the narrative with his giving unnecessary, unending direction. "The river ran down to the east, off to the left of the mountain range on the south." Just an example. Do read it. You may like drivel as such. It is a good story.

Better than Book One
Much more well written with a better story telling. Very enjoyable as the characters develop and grow into themselves. The main character stays grounded and believable, in that whole story of predetermined destiny type thing.

Excellent!!
Fine prose and excellent development of character. Sometimes it would be nice to move on with story, it's okay now.

Exciting followup to the opening book!
Well paced, we see the development of several characters through Aram's eyes. We see the growing union of the free peoples. But more than anything, we see Aram mature into the leader he will have to be to ultimately defeat Manon, even if it costs him his own life.
