Faithful to help.

going to take a lot to save the kingdom…

Review:
Wow! I
expected a lot more from this book. It wasn’t as wonderful as the first Alanna
(Song of the Lioness) book was. There were some story glitches that were a
little confusing… at least one ploy that became super-transparent for what it
was for (though it shouldn’t be)… but
the major trouble was relearning many of the characters. It had been a while,
so I had forgotten some of the characters, and the book didn’t do a great job
re-introducing them. I’m not sure that I know all the characters now! That made
things less enjoyable. It was still a pretty enjoyable book, but not the wonder
I suspected.
So read this
book if you’ve read the first one recently, or re-read the first one again
before reading this one. If you do either of these things (or have a super
memory), this book is worth getting anyway, but don’t expect a wonder like the
first one.
