Most of the characters seem to be really lost now and without much hope.  I love to speculate what T. Williams is going to do!  Just have to wait and see!]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This was a great second novel. It was a bit slow through the middle, but picked up to some great ending cliffhangers. Now comes the hard part of waiting for the last book of the trilogy...]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This volume really picked up the pace and kept me interested from the start, unlike the previous volume which I found almost painfully slow going. The two main characters became far more interesting to me once they were separated and taken out of their normal existence.

    <body><![CDATA[An interesting novel and well-written, but it can have a slow, even infuriating pace for some of the plots, most notable Chert's and Merolanna's. It is surprising to consider how much actually happened by the end of the book as it mostly has the same feeling at the beginning as the end, that of un-r...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/18322527">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I bought volume two when it was first released, but held out reading it for as long as I could. I know that the next installment in this series won't be published for awhile, so I am trying to ration myself. I have been in the last 70 pages for weeks now, and only read a page or two a night. <br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/19144092">more...</a>]]></body>
