"Didn't enjoy it as much as Seer and the Sword. I felt like too many people were just a little too dumb in this one (something that really annoys me in books, although I suspect that I would probably be just as dumb in some of these cases).
PG? (I can't remember--it's been a while, but I seem to remember it being pretty clean.)"
"More violent than I enjoy. I felt like (and this is the case with many books) more time was spent on the conflict and (virtually) no energy was put into "daily life" types of details, and that left me wanting more. This author has created an interesting world, and I want to read more about it!!
Other than that, the story was great, the characters interesting and believable."
"I really enjoyed this book. I liked how it's a companion to The Seer and the Sword, but it doesn't depend on the first book. I really liked how much dreams and such were involved."
