I enjoyed this novel more than I anticipated. There's only a couple of characters from the previous Finder's Stone book, and one of them (Olive) I didn't even like. I still don't like her.
This book follows the side-character and noble-turned-adventurer, Giogioni Wyvernspur, as he's pulled into a new adventure concerning a family heirloom, a ghost, an evil mage, and the re-appearance of Olive, and yet another Alias clone.
This book doesn't have a lot to do with the first one besides the characters and there doesn't seem to be some big hook connecting them all together, so I'm curious to see what the conclusion in this trilogy will look like. I also didn't expect to like Giogi as much as I did, I thought he would be whiny and foppish and a buffoon... and he kind of is those things, but he's also a good guy and a good adventurer. However, TSR can't seem to write a halfling that isn't an insufferable greedy liar, so the Olive parts really dragged.
I'm curious to see how this trilogy ends so I look forward to the conclusion.
