" I liked this one better than the last, since things seem to be picking up and things are actually happening in it. Unlike it felt through much of the first. I still wonder if only Brooks' notoriety made this a trilogy. So far, I wonder if it wouldn't have been a much better story cut down to one or two books. I guess I'll have a better opinion after the third book, but so much so far has seemed fairly... pointless, just stretching things out for no particular reason. But, it's still Terry Brooks and even at his lesser works, he's still better than many others. "
