Summary: Good, but not as good as the first book
Comment: Devlin's Honor follows on from the first book called Devlin's luck. In this book, Devlin (or the Chosen One) is tasked with finding a special sword that was lost during the invasion of his country by the empire he now serves. This means that Devlin, who is an outcast among his people and called kinless, must confront those he once knew as friends.
I gave this four stars on the strength of the first book, which is very good indeed. This one is less good, but still satisfying. It's obvious from what happens in this book that Devlin's adventures are far from over. I'm looking forward to the third book in this series.

Summary: A fast, fun read
Comment: If you like traditional fantasy heroes (and I do), this book is a lot of fun. Book One of the Sword of Change established Devlin as the Champion and a hero. In this book, he quickly finds out that yesterday's heroes are, well, old news. The King, tired of making uncomfortable decisions, is no longer listening to him. The opposition starts a campaign to force him to find the Champion's sword, lost in Devlin's homeland for the last 50 years.
Once Devlin realizes that he has actually seen the lost sword in his master's workshop, his geas kicks in and forces him to find it. Along with his two boon companions, he returns to his homeland to find the sword as well as pieces of himself that he had long thought lost forever.
Devlin's Honor is written with a style that invites a quick read (it took me about 2.5 hours). Although the plot is pretty much a standard for the fantasy genre, the characterization is well done, and I found myself interested in the secondary characters as well as the protagonist. There were fewer fight scenes in this book than in the last, and some of the minor characters needed their personalities and motivations fleshed out a bit, but I would absolutely recommend this book for an afternoon of light reading.

Summary: Bogged Down
Comment: This book as not as good as it's predecessor. It's not a bad book, but it gets bogged down. We spent WAY too much time moping around, looking for the sword. It also took much too much time for it to occur to the characters that evil sorcery was a foot. Hopefully, the next book will move along at a better pace.
