Just as fantastic as the first! Maerad is quickly becoming one of my favorite people to read about, and this is becoming one of my favorite series.

I'm going to have to put this one aside for the time being, and read it later when I'm a little more ready and wanting to.

[Quick and short review before I re-read and re-review at a later date:
Again, I have little memory of the singular book story, but as a whole I know I enjoyed it. Felt it was quite a quick read, but with a bit more depth than a lot of escapist fantasy. No memory of the characters, either, though it was years ago.]

Many mornings now this book has made me late to work as I get caught up in what was supposed to be 15 minutes of reading that turns into an hour or more. I love the complexity of each and every character in this series, and I'm so excited to read the next two books. Although I might have to stop reading in bed before and after sleeping -- this is probably not an acceptable justification for rolling into the lab a full hour late.

I really enjoyed this portion of the Pellinor series. Oftentimes I find the second book in a series tends to have less action and more character building as you're "waiting" for the last book to have the major conflict and resolution. This story had some great action and a touch of romance (which I always love) as well as a lovely wintery setting.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book, as it has a lot of bite to it, if you know what I mean. Not my favorite, but I still like it, as it is excellent writing and a good story-line.
Maerad and Cadvan have been able to fight through and escape the Dark’s clutches…now they are on a mission for the Treesong, which they think will lead the Light to the defeat of the growing Darkness. But all is not well with the two. After all the travel, things are starting to get strained between them. But when a tragedy strikes, they both find out how much friendship really means, and what love can do.
