There isn't much I can say about this book without giving away the main plot. Suffice to say it picks up right where Besieged ended and carries forward. This installment does not have the same time leaps as the previous book and feels like it flows a bit better because of it.
We basically get to see the continuing stories of all of the major characters from the previous book as well as a brand new storyline of Ronnyn (a pure blood T'en living in hiding with his family) and his half-blood Malajune sister Aravelle. I found their story to be very interesting. My only criticism is that Ronnyn and Aravelle are supposed to be twelve and thirteen respectively but they really don't seem that young. I continuously pictured them at about eighteen and nineteen and not because of the physical descriptions but their actions and reasoning. They seemed much older and more responsible than twelve and thirteen but still young enough to sometimes make foolish mistakes.
Really great second installment which managed to expand even more on the magic systems and culture. Looking forward to book three, Sanctuary.
