The sequel is father short but high quality. If you enjoyed the first novel this one is just as entertaining. I would characterize the plot line as a coming of age story with our "spare heir" looking for purpose and wanting to improve on his sword play. The main character remains the sole point of view and his character development pushes him more and more into the hero role. He has the chance to learn from a renown fighter with a non-royal sword style. To put further distance between his brothers' reputation our hero changes his name to Rim so he can avoid the royal treatment.The adventure continues with more information about a dark wizard and a threat to the kingdom. No spoilers here but I will mention that his series would fit well for a school library due to its life lessons and clean dialogue.I like the cover art too.
