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.

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.

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
