Nice, a very nice sequel to the Guardians. If you've read my review of the prequel, you know I criticized the Guardians for not developing enough, the Church, Kelcer, and the Characters. Williams does this all.The plot in this book is a little more vague, with the guardians being sent to get the sword of Osturlius, Ossendar and bring it back. All the guardians split up, and they all fall into trouble. The only significance the capturing plays is to, A. prevent them from getting to the meeting point, and B. to introduce Prince Keenan, a prince of an `evil' realm.In this book Flare learns sorcery, another part of Kelcer and... Kelcer. He is built upon more and develops nicely. Kelcer prophesied that the restorer of the Dragon Order will Conquer Mul-Dune (check), know magic (check) and sorcery (check) and wizardry (not yet), be born under the sign of the prince (check), be the heir to two thrones (check), and wield Ossendar (check). Notice a pattern?Anyways Flare brings back Ossendar, killing Phillip, to the king, who for some reason gives it to his bratty son, and Flare steals it and runs away.We were also introduced to the two of the spirits watching Flare, Osturlius, and Adel!This book had a few forgettable parts, such as the dwarves, and Flare's entire journey. I can't wait for the next book, which I hope, will improve the series.
