The second book in a trilogy, follows The Book of Lies and is followed by The Book from Baden Dark.

It's been an ages since I've read The Book of Lies, so about a quarter of the way into the book I was still muddling through characters and previous plot. It's a good thing he dribbled allusions to what happened previously. Total nfi.

Despite my "what's going on?" manner while reading the book, I quite enjoyed it and found myself hooked during the last half of the book.

Slightly too young for me (XD) but still love this book. The description is good, twists unpredictable, the fights awesome.
However I'd like more character developement. I don't really sympathise with them, which isn't great. And I wish Moloney would stop killing off the enemy, seeing as it's a trilogy. I mean, first Mortegris and Eleanor and now *SPOILER* Ismar AND Damon. So who's the enemy in book three? I look forward to finding out, but still would've liked it to be the same antagonists.

Awesome Book. but plot is kinda clattered at some points, but meh. Still deserves a 4-star rating,
read the first book first. It will help you understand what is going on in the book. Oh Yeah, and a quick question.....

Master of the Books by James Moloney is a good book and has an interesting plot that captures the reader although the character development could use some work as throughout the book the reader did not feel for the characters and relate to them. The Master of the Books is a good fantasy book but is not one of the best in the fantasy genre.

the book after "the book of lies". Marcel is now 13 or so, and he is still a growing sorcerer. It is slow paced at first, but it is amazing how every story fits in so perfectly together.

It was a good book but kind of outgrown the plot - saddened by the outcome of events for the sister (cant remember her name) but overall an alright book.
Emma Hansen
Second book in the trilogy. A fairly enjoyable book. Again aimed at a young crowd, but definitely a good read anyway.
Ellie
A sequel from the book of lies. A fantasy mythical storey recommend it to children aged between 11 - 14 years.

Loved the characters and magic this book has. Story line is slightly predictable but I really enjoyed this all the same.

My full name is James Francis Moloney and I was born in Sydney, Australia on 20 September, 1954. When I was seven years old, my family moved to Brisbane and except for the odd year or two, I have lived in Brisbane ever since. At school, I was into every sport going - cricket, footy, swimming - you name it. It's hard to believe now but in High School, I was a champion Long Jumper! After University...more
