Review (by BMR guest reviewer Carlyn)This is book two in the Nexus Wars Saga which is set in the land of Kil'Tar. When we last left Kil'Tar we saw Valdieron continuing on his quest to find all the pieces of a relic which will help to secure the seals which keeps the demons out of their world. Using the necklace, his mother let him called the dragon's tear, he continues to learn how to become a master swordsman and begins a new lesson in magic.Unlike the last book this does not mainly focus on Valdieron but instead the focus is spread between several different characters such as Prince Andrak and his journey to see the Elves, Princess Kitara and her kidnap and Thorgast and Kyle on the journey to his homeland.There is still an amazing amount of action in this book but I wasn't sure if I liked my attention pulled in so many different directions but on the other hand I can slowly see the pieces of this puzzle coming together.The writing is still a great standard and you still feel a great need to see where this story will go and who will win this epic war.This is a great series to look out for and I can't wait to read the next installment.I give Ashar'an Rising 4 out of 5 stars
