Review: Better than the last book

Read it, enjoyed the magical conflicts, but I still find his characters are nebulous outlines in my mind as I read. The story is told from the view point of the Battle Mage Sebastion. It follows him as he travels to participate in a magical contest that pits wizard against wizard, and allows the author to flesh out his magical theory more than in the first book. Sebastion continues to be a prodigy, so the storyline continues with Sebastion as a somewhat isolated, but sought after individual. The author still tells you what the characters feel and think in a straightforward, unsubtle fashion. Lot of room for improvement, and probably overpriced for the quality, but the story is interesting. I will probably take a peek at a sequel and give it a chance if it seems to have improved.
