Rollins continues connecting "monsters" with men in a positive way. Pre-civilization guardians of order are showing signs of malfunction due to the centuries they have waited to be resurrected.
Love may or may not blossom between characters, and in some cases, animosity has been replaced by grudging acceptance of others. Giant bats, sea monsters, and demented cyborgs torture the few who are striving to save the world.
Sibling love and hate are demonstrated in spades. Short-sighted, self-serving goals seem to dominate the villains of the book. As mentioned in the previous review of book one, Rollins has outdone himself in this epic fantasy. Book one introduced a myriad of entertaining and exotic characters. A world is threatened by a prophetic doom seen by only a few. The rest of the world is caught up in political intrigue and treachery. Rollins paints some seriously despicable villains.
The breadth of Rollins's world is just shy of breathtaking. There is epic perfidy, familia treachery, and grotesque violence by even more grotesque characters.
Trying to avoid spoilers always annoys me as it makes it difficult to write clearly.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and avidly look forward to reading the final book in this world-spanning trilogy.
