![]() ![]() ![]() I'm very curious about Falconer-we got to see a lot more of him in this book, but he still maintains a shroud of mystery. (Drew still felt too perfect, and Nathaniel's near-constant "Ho mate" got on my nerves.) I liked watching him develop as a character, but I have some caveats, which I'll get to later. Trenton was probably the most fleshed out of all of them, and was my favorite. ![]() The characters: Trenton is the main character in this one, though we still see quite a bit of Nathaniel, Drew, Falconer, and a few of the original gang. It was neat that we got to see how they had adjusted to their new lives, instead of them disappearing altogether. (How cool would a crossover between these two series be?) Also, I like how the village for the deposed lords and their families was set up. It brings to mind the Blades of Acktar series, so I was very interested in learning more about that land. The setting: We got to see more of Mizgalia and Dragon Coast (two locations touched on in the first that I was very curious about), but I would have enjoyed a little more information about life in Mizgalia. I'll give you a brief summary of setting, characters, and plot before diving into some critique. But holy cow-that ending! Sager can seriously write battle scenes. Okay, so like the first book, it was a little slow-going until you got into the story. The Bad: Less amazing creatures in this one. ![]()
