This second book is much more powerful than the first. The developing character Alador is spellbindng. I had trouble putting it down. The reader becomes so entwined with Alador and you find yourself hoping against hope that his father isn't as cold as he can sometimes seem to be. My first impression was that Henrick is living a dual personality because he obviously does not approve of his High Minister brother Lucian, but then you really aren't sure just how much Henrick knows and where his true loyalties lie. I do hope he proved to have a sense of honor. We leave Alador, hardened and disillusioned at the end of this book and I don't know about the rest of the readers but I hope he ends up with some happiness out of the mess he was born into.
