Summary: Not as good as Crypt
Comment: As a follow up to Crypt of the Shadowking this book falls flat. I really can't place exactly where or how, except that maybe the main focus shifted from Cal to Mari. Most of the adventure and excitement were really lacking. Oh, I just realized what was wrong. . . .there really isn't a main villain here. You pretty much know how the book will end before you're even halfway through. At least Crypt had a good foe for Cal in Cutter. Here it is more of a race against time, without any of the real suspense on whether they will succeed in their quest to help their friend. This is a passable book, but only if you have nothing better to read.

Summary: Great book and excellent sequel!
Comment: Great book! I have enjoyd reading this book very much.But if you haven't read the previous one (Crypt of the Shadowking) y recommend you to read it, becouse it's as good as this one.
The plot here is placed in time sortly after Crypt of the Shadowmage. The plot is great, and, even when you can see what is happening, you don't know for sure how it is going to end. The Quest for find ...ejem.."something" (I can't say it here, sorry, you'll understand when you read it ;P ) is not long and with some surprise, and maybe you can guess how it will end and maybe. II didn't guess when I readed it but, I was to deep inside the book reading it, that I wasn't thinking of what will happen or how will it end.
The characters are also good. The only dissapoint I have is with Kellen. Ok, he is lovely, but, for my taste, he is a bit perfect, knows everything and is thinking in things a child of his age wouldn't think. He must have been playing instead of saving the world, but even with this, the book is great.
Buy it, and judge yourself, is the best I can say.

Summary: Superb!
Comment: This is the sequel to "Crypt of the Shadowking" and is even better!! I love Anthony's writing style. This was a compulsive read, and I finished it in about a day. The narrative sweeps the reader along with just the right pacing and excitememt, and the story itself is a logical extension of the first book. The only slight problems were that, 1. the whole story surrounding Stiletto was just too predictable; sorry Mark, but I saw it coming a mile away, and 2. I was a little disappointed with the epilogue, which I thought was a bit unfair (I can't say why without giving away important elements of the story). But these really are minor quibbles, and I would highly recommend both of Anthony's "Harpers" books. I hope that we will see another story about these characters. I'd especially like to see something involving Kellen as Morhion's apprentice; could have lots of interesting possibilities! When you finish your latest writing project, how about it Mark?
