Sparkweaver: Half-Elven : Book Two

Half-Elven #2

by David Rice

Saving the World is not Enough! Kirsten has a mother to rescue from the Edge of the World, and a father to rescue from himself. Sparkweaver follows Kirsten as she slowly matures under the care of Helba, Raisha, Balinor, and, occasionally, Muren. Isolated in the Highlands, she is hardly prepared to deal with the dangers of the larger realms. The dwarves of Thunderwall emerge from their besieged holdfast to play a greater part in the brooding conflict. The gnomes begin to tinker with forces they can't control. Personal and political schemes intertwine with promises of revenge, and even the best plans unravel twist by twist. Behind it all, the lifebane awaken the chaotic Drakes of First Dawn as the world spins towards full scale war. Kirsten finds herself alone on a quest to prove herself worthy to the elves of Longwood-or die. All she needs to do is discover a mythic sword, the Fahde, that may only exist in the earliest tales of the Rajala. Kirsten won't admit it but she is going to need some help.

After reading the first novel, it seemed like it would be rather difficult to improve upon, but the scopes get larger and more complex in this second installment of the Half-Elven series. Look forward to reading more about Kirsten and the rest of this highly intriguing world in the next book!

A wonderful story with detailed, interesting characters and an epic plot. The writing is complex yet clear, the pacing is spot on for epic fantasy and it left me wanting the next book. Really looking forward to the conclusion of Kirsten's journey and her kicking some Drake butt!
