Lamplighter: The Foundling's Tale, Part Two Audiobook

" Oh, very nice! This is definitely living up to the promise of the first book, although it's a bit more straightforward; I may be somewhat forgiving because it definitely has a middle-book feel to it. Is the series is actually intended to be a trilogy? I feel like I should have re-read Foundling before launching into this, because it follows quite directly from the first book character-arc-wise as well as time-wise. (There's a massive glossary in the appendix in the back -- seriously, massive: the appendix is a hundred pages long! -- but I generally don't find that sort of thing helpful for characterization.) I may have to buy both of these books and keep them on hand for when the third one comes out, in fact. "

" I absolutely love these books "

" Where the first of the series presented a straight tour d' monde - introducing us to the world, its society, and its culture - the second act brings us closer to the central story. In this volume we learn that something is rotten in Denmark and that new allies are rare. (Rossamund makes, by my count, four new friends in all the six-hundred pages of the book.) With those two chunks of exposition off his chest, I look forward to a character-rich third volume. "

" Started off sort of slow for me but WOW!! This book was even better than the first one :D Can't wait to get my hands on Factotum! "

" Except for a slow patch in the latter third of the book, I loved this story. Again, it's a great world with complex and interesting characters. This is a step above most YA literature I've read. I look forward to book 3! "

" Probably the most creative and carefully detailed fantasy world written since Tolkien. "

" very pleased that the last book in this trilogy has arrived. "

" quite a bizarre book, but I really like it... "

" Better than the first. Some parts drag a little but the other parts make up for that. bought this book 2 days after it came out and I couldn't put it down, i finished it in 3 days. Note: the book is actually 602 pages and that's not counting the very interesting appendix. ;D "

" Very slow and dense with cultural information to start. I have to admit I almost put the book aside because it just didn't spark any interest, but once it finally started rolling it more than made up for the slow start. "

" Good- actually much better than the first in that the action was faster. Still, fabulous use of vocabulary and completely new trials beset our young adventurer in this intriguingly original world. "

" Exciting, engaging, enthralling. A whole (almost) new world in which to get lost with wonderful characters and hearty protagonist. "

" With more storyline and twists than the first, The Lamplighter is simply a book you cannot put down! And a very good cliffhanger at the end that makes you need to read more. "

" I thought this book was better than the first. The detail and thought put into the back story and world was very impressive. I didn't want the story to end and can't wait for the third book in November. "

" Brilliant second chapter in one of the most imaginative fantasy series of recent years. "

" D.M. Cornish has created an incredible world similar to Colonial times. I love this series! This book has a great twist at the end! I can't wait to read the next one! "

" loved it same as the last one good plot great world and characters "

" Not as thrilling as the first book "

" Highly exciting, pace was good. I so can't wait for book 3 to come out.... argh! >_< "

" Continuation of Rossamund's tale now that he's finally reached lamplighter training camp. Old characters return and many good new ones are introduced. This series has rightly been described as Tolkienesque, though Cornish adds welcome moral ambiguity and nuanced characterization. "

" I enjoyed it. It has an excessive amount of awkwardly created vocabulary, but otherwise its a pretty readable fantasy adventure novel. "

" can't wait to read the third book! "

" Children's fantasy about discovering your true nature. "

" A really enjoyable sequel. It's quite a bit longer than the first book, but it didn't drag, and I'm anxious to read number 3. "
