Like the first in the series, I flew through this one, enjoying it all. The characters are fun to follow, and the world is a neat one to be engulfed in during the read. Mik and Sura's relationship, which seemed so perfect in the first book and the beginning of this one, gets quite a jolt, and it's an interesting ride to see if they can get it back together. Mik's grand solo adventure shows a very different side of the world and wizards in general, and could have had an entire novel-lengthed book in itself. My one wish is the same as the first book in that this would have been expanded out from a novella to a novel to show more - more detail, more action, more of the world, more of Mik and Sura's adventures, and more of their daily lives. As a novella, it skips to only the truly important things, which I can't fault it for, but I would still have loved to see more. That's not a complaint on my part, but simply a wish. I enjoyed the writing style, world, and characters so much that I wanted to spend more time in this book! If you enjoy tales of magic, adventure, and fantasy, give this one a read!
