After the slow-to-sluggish build of most of the first volume, this second book in The First Law trilogy is rolling right from the start and maintains the momentum through the whole thing.
It's a classic heroes-on-a-journey/battle-for-the-future-of-the-realm Tale but the action is great and the characters have plenty of life in them. I'm excited to read the third book.
The second book of the First Law Trilogy is a big improvement over the first. It's paced better, written better, and the characters are fleshed out.
4.5 the story really picks up here and there's never a dull moment. Characters I didn't expect to like are now my favorites. Good stuff.
This book starts on a high and just keeps ramping it up!
So, after the great first book, which now looking back, was more of a prologue book setting up and introducing us to the main characters, comes the sequel that takes the best elements from the previous entry and dials them up a notch.
Also, the ending is very poignant. I wasn't expecting a certain character's death to hit me as hard as it did.
