Review: Read Cloudstone Key First
Rating: 4 out of 5

This is an excellent and satisfying fantasy with a satisfying ending preparing the reader for the third book in the series. However, it does not stand alone. Unfortunately, the first book in the series, Cloudstone Key, is not up to the standard of this book. It must be read first for the back story to make sense. The characters are interesting and deep. Very few of the minor characters are stereotypes. Most of them are interesting in their own right.The only reason I did not give this book a five is its inability to stand by itself. In a good series, each book should have enough of the story arc to give the reader a satisfying beginning middle and end. Coupled with Cloudstone key this does. Without it, it does not.Read them together. I await the third book.
