It took me months to finish this book. Lengthy as it is, that wasn't the cause of delay. Real Life got in the way and I really hate I couldn't finish it sooner. I've not really been a big fan of sorcery, except if you count Harry Potter's wizardry. Reading the first book in this Trilogy, The Crimson League, changed that. The Magic Council is years later in the lives of those who survived the mission to take back the palace from Zalski, and put Rexson on the throne which he so rightly deserved.Although this book is not as adventurous as the first, it's still amazingly exciting! I'm not for spoilers so I'll try to be frank. Rexson and Gracia (King and Queen), seek the help of Zachry Porteg (brother to Kora Porteg), in aide of a mission that I shall not name. He brings along his student and friend Vane, (Laskenay's son and rightful Duke of Ingleton), to help in the matter. Kora desperately wants to help in the mission, but realizes her appearance could cause chaos since she's been exiled from Herezoth for a decade.After the mission is complete, another problem arises, which Kora cannot overlook this time. She acts and tries to stay invisible, but Rexson figures out she's there and pulls her and Zachry aside to discuss her being there. Realizing he can't make her return to Traigland and he could use her help, Rexson let's her stay. More chaos arises, deals are made, and things turn worse before it all ends peacefully. The Council is put together and all is going well.I can't say anymore than that without spoilers. I can name some of the key players in all this sorcery goodness. Vane, which we all know as the son of Laskenay, who was raised by the inn keeper Teena in the days of The Crimson League, is all grown up now. Falls in love with a girl named August, whose sister Ursa is the cause of all the chaos. He's trying to figure out how to be with her and take on the title as Duke of Ingleton. He's criticized for being Zalski's nephew.The story is pretty much about him but you still get to read of the King's problems as well as Kora, Zachry, Bennie, and Hayden. Enemies and spies are always lurking around. I really enjoyed this book and if you loved The Crimson League, then you'll definitely love this! Can't wait to read book 3, The King's Sons when it comes out!
