Monster horde returns
Features the same great style, atmosphere and a few cool characters from the first book and short, to the point intro—the first fight against a giant, dangerous monster is around page 50. However it feels a bit more overwhelming compared to the first book with too many events in parallel which can feel chaotic. And there’s a very annoyingly curious main character.
Even though there are still a few really large, epic battles, overall it's much less about epic and more about dramas and tragedies and mysteries about everyone. And the ending is nice, hinting at new adventures.
I hope the next book is a bit less tragic.
Wow. I loved these characters and I loved this action. Total 5 star read. This tells the story from an outsider of the band and plays the role of the clueless protagonist who takes the opportunities to asks the questions on behalf of the audience. It was really well done.
Good, but maybe not as good as the first one. I found it a little less involving this time, although maybe that was due to the change of narrator for the audiobook (due to the different perspective). Worth someone's time, but maybe not the tour de force of the Kings of the Wyld.
