The plot and writing both devolve precipitously. I could not finish this book.

The pace kept up, the characters grow more interesting, I found myself impatient to get back to the book & keep reading. On to the next!

4.5
Second book in a series (The Chathrand Voyage,) that I am so thankful was suggested in my fantasy group.
Book 1 concentrated on building the world, setting the scene. This 2nd book is more character driven and I have fallen in love with most of them.
If you are like me, and fantasy reading is your escape from the real world, try this series, I doubt you will be disappointed.
<i>Brimming with high adventure, dark enchantment, and unforgettable characters, this story deftly secures Redick’s place in the ranks of epic fantasy’s most original and enthralling storytellers.</i>

3.5 stars again. This one definitely sucked me back in, after the somewhat disappointing ending of the first book. There were a couple of plot points that grated, seemingly crafted only to further one miscommunication or other, but overall very strong. The writing continues to be excellent and evocative.
