Review: Slow-developing sequel
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 10 5, 2013
This is a fairly slow-developing but interesting book about a former guard turned mercenary finding that he has the ability to learn magic -- information found in the initial book. This book takes him to where he'll receive his education -- that a girl that he finds attractive is based where he'll receive his education is as much a draw as learning magic.This girl and several others are captured by "the bad guys", a school with an alternative philosophy of the use of magic, one that is not supported by the kingdom in which it is located.This forced the mercenary turned magician to form his own small team, and travel to release his intended girlfriend.Readable, but fairly slow-paced, with few "action sequences" and minimal plot twists...
