Okay, Ms. Somerville really reviewed the heck out of this story (warning: spoilers are included in her review), and I agree with some points...overall, I think she was as critical as I'd expect any author to be.As a reader who likes LOTS of stories dispite flaws in characters or plot, this sequel was VERY good.  For those of us who are fans of the fantasy genre, it was obviously a book that bridges the beginning of the story with the end, but unlike some, it really advanced the story and gave more depth to the characters.  I still felt the intense connection to the main characters...all of them.  I still wondered how they would solve the problems, even though I had no doubt that they would.  I still loved seeing the world the authors built through several characters' eyes.  Trammel provided an insight into how the magical community functions that Tatterdemalion left obscured.If you loved the first book (even if you only liked it), this sequel is a great read.  I can't wait to see if the next book will conclude the adventure.
