Following Spirit Gate, this book continues where the last
finished. In this volume we have flying
horses, horrific behavior and a twinkle of light at the end of the tunnel. Flying eagles instead of dragons, the Reeves
are expected to keep an eye on the Hundred.
The Guardians who were judge and executioner have disappeared leaving
the Reeves to handle it all. Tumult is
spreading across the Hundred and the Reeves and their eagles appear to be
helpless to stop it but perhaps some Guardians haven't turned to the Dark
Side. (alas a child of Star Wars)
Side. (alas a child of Star Wars)
Joss finds his grief shaken by the appearance of one thought
long dead. He grabs himself by the boot
straps and pulls himself out of his self pity and becomes a leader.
Captain Anji and Mai
figure prominently in this volume. The
Captain's unshakeable confidence and Mai's subtle but almost overweening
business acumen get his Qin started on
the path of stability in the Hundreds where their skill in arms is deeply
needed.
Once again greed and avarice have an impact on the fate of
the characters with some new colorful magic splashing forth.
An excellent middle volume for a captivating trilogy.
I recommend the book.
