 Set in the world of Kyralia and being the second book in the sequel trilogy to the Dark Magician Trilogy and the events in its prequel, The Magician's Apprentice, this is a fascinating look at the various cultures which inhabit the world.
The characters are very engaging and well written with their own unique characters.
The events of this novel mostly follow Sonea, Lorkin and Dannyl as they each strive to solve their own mysteries while being beset by other problems that hamper their efforts.
While I would describe this as slow-paced the mystery aspect of the story makes it a highly engaging read. I am now looking forward to the concluding book.
