Notes: After just reading and enjoying the first book in this series, it is time to turn to the second.
Mini review: The first three-fourths of this novel has a very similar tone to the first book in the series, but then with one scene a whole lot of things change. Until that one scene, there were very few obvious signs of powerful magics in this world, though there were hints of power unseen. Then that one scene shows the levels of power in play in this world. It worked for me. Instead of seeming to come out of the blue, it seemed a natural outpouring of much that had been hinted at before. So, in the end, I generally liked this book more than I did the first in the series, and I didn't hate that book That being said, I also want to point out that each of these books is not a stand-alone novel, but that each book in this series is a continuation of the story. I'm looking forward to the next book since some things seem to have changed, some secrets have been revealed, and more secrets are looming on the horizon to the answered.
