Review: Good 2nd in the series
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 11 5, 2011
As the 2nd book of a trilogy, there is a danger that this book will just serve as transition for the finale.  Fortunately, there is plenty of action in the 4,110 locations.  Death comes to some characters, and other characters fade into the background.  Catrin steps even more firmly into the spotlight.The novel asks the interesting question of does fate cause prophecies to come true, or is people who believe in prophecy that cause those same prophecies to be fulfilled?Solid follow-up to the first book.  I'll pick up the 3rd book, so I'd say the author got me interested enough to keep going.The background is interesting enough that I would be interested in other stories set in the world.As I said in my first review, I appreciate that the author hasn't written 1200 page tomes.  I've read a lot of 19th Century works, and I like my books in smaller sizes, like this one.Definitely worth getting if you like fantasy.
