Summary: You Either Love His Stuff Or You Don't...
Comment: and I happen to love it. Yes this novel, like the first, is graphically bloody, contains sexually explicit scenes, a lack of prominent female characters, but it is original, fun to read and I can't wait for the next book. Newcomb and Del Rey don't pay any attention to the crappy reviews posted all around this review. This is good fun stuff. If you like swords, magic, and action this is the series for you. Reminds me a lot of the Salvatore and Forgotten Realm books.

Summary: Del Rey should be ashamed
Comment: Ok, even a publisher who has sunk a lot of money into a longshot author needs to know when to quit. With the tide of crappy books on the market these days, Robert Newcomb has made his mark as the worst of the worst. Yet here is his second book, carefully packaged despite the howls of protest from fantasy fans such as myself who believed the hype about the first one, then read it and wondered if we had purchased the same book.
More of the same brutal and inconsisent nonsense fills this book, with dull characters and a stupid plot. Spare yourself! Skip this book. And ignore every piece of marketing from Del Rey from now on.

Summary: Incredibly Bad Ending
Comment: In a nutshell, nothing the heros did or might have done made any difference. The bad guys lose on a technicality and the author spends 20 or so pages explaining what the technicality was. If the good guys stayed home talking about how hopeless the situation was for the entire book, instead of 90% of it, the result would have been the same.
Don't waste your time on this piece of garbage.
