Review: Great follow up to The Sword of Sighs

Every time I pick up a fantasy book that isn't urban or romance I always feel lost for the first few chapters. This is nothing against the author, only my own inability to keep names and places straight. I have learned my lesson and will now reread the previous book (or at least a summary of it) before starting the next. I don't feel like I will be doing Greg's book justice because of my faults as a reader.I've always admired Greg's ability to describe a scene. He does it in just enough words for you to get the feel and mood without over doing it. In The Scepter of Storms I saw a bit of his Horror beginnings shining through, it definitely made for some creative punishments. I feel the dialog didn't flow at times but that also could have to do with the way things are spoken in the world of Seythe.All in all a good book for Fantasy lovers. (And by "Fantasy" I mean along the lines of Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones) I look forward to starting the next book, which just happens to be next in my TBR pile!
