Publisher Description

With the publication of his first novel, The Hound of Rowan, Henry H. Neff won a huge readership eager for more of his wildly imagined fantasy series. In this riveting sequel, Neff expands on the world of his first novel and pens a work of even greater scope and complexity. When evil forces conspire to wield the Book of Toth, chaos breaks out-leaving the only hope for the future in the hands of the Rowan Academy's Max McDaniels and his trusted friend David Menlo.

"This book gets a lot of comparisons to Harry Potter but I have to say, it's quite different. The main character does share some similarities but is still very different. I quite enjoyed the book and promptly bought the second one as soon as this one was done. "

    " After reading Henry H. Neff's first book, The Hound of Rowan, I was confused as there were things that I liked and disliked. I thought that by moving on to the second book, The Second Siege, my confusion would clear, but I have found that is not the case. Neff's relys on his own unique creativity in this book, which is a great improvement and his plot shows many interesting twists. The book, while action packed, is also chaotic and very dark. While he has me hooked on the story, I think Neff needs to continue to develop his writing style. The main characters, Max and David, still are not developed sufficiently and many of the characters are barely more than names. On to the third book I go... "

    " Reminded me of the second book of LOTR - lots of violence and battle. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first - I felt like a lot of the plot was compressed. "

    " Just like the first book in the Tapestry series, this book was amazing. Although this one is more of a passive side of the story-line. For lovers of action this book would not be the perfect for reading but it is an essential part of the series. "

    " So much better than the first one. No more exposition, just fantasy and action and myth. Still lacking a bit of character development in the supporting cast, but really enjoyable. I'm not sure I can wait until November for the third one. "
