mark_hanna 's review for:

The Shadow Throne by Django Wexler
4.0

While it didn't hit quite as hard as the first it was still a great read. There were fun bits along the way, especially those about a certain Captain's cluelessness. This is kind of a long way to setup some of the story coming down the road and there were times when I found things happened just a bit to conveniently. All said though, in the final pages it does get you excited for book 3.
