Wonderfully done!, 9 April 2003
When last seen Ryel Mirai, Lord Adept of the wysard-citadel Markul, was preparing to leave Lady Srin. In this sequel, Ryel heads North, to the city of Hallagh. There he finds Redbane and takes the Bane of the Red Esserns upon himself. Ryel must fulfill the prophecies of the Foretold, which he learns from Riana, The One Immortal. Dagar's depredations MUST be stopped and Edris' rai must be brought back from the Void. ***** Many twists pop up in this book. Every time I believe Ryel is almost omnipotent, the author does something unexpected to make his powers seem childish in comparison. The character of Dagar, the evil villain, was done especially well. He seemed almost unbeatable, which added a delightful tension to the whole story. If you have not read the first book, WYSARD, I recommend you do so before beginning this second book. Though you would be able to understand all that happens, it would flow nearly as smoothly. Wonderfully composed novel! *****
