Tighter than the first one, and more polished. It has a similar very-short-chapters structure, which makes it a fast read, but this one is more willing to use plot structures like flashback and dream to smooth out some of the lumps of an otherwise strictly chronological book.

It was fun to see the characters finally starting to understand the power of possibilities. I also enjoyed seeing substories of redemption and healing and jealousy.

Well, a quarter century later and I still enjoy this setting. I wanted to go back and revisit the original with word the we may have a new version of the game out sometime in the next year. It still speaks to me and while it certainly follows the 90s formula of fantasy fiction to some extent I find I care about the characters.
Score one for nostalgia!

With the various characters from the first group finally brought together--for the most part--this volume doesn't jump around nearly as much as the previous volume, which makes for a more enjoyable and engaging story.

The momentum of the plot has also picked up, so that I am very interested to start the final book in the series and see how the story is brought to a conclusion.

A rompin' good book, that helps set the tone and pace of the RPG
