  <default_description>Chaos reigns in Alypium. The baby dragons have disappeared. King Piter has lost the trust of his people. Balor and Damon Stain will become the new rulers unless Erec Rex agrees to return and challenge them. Erec can't allow the evil twins to take over. But he knows if he becomes king, the power of the royal scepter could destroy him completely.  As Erec performs the deadly quests he learns more about himself and his past. He discovers that the right path brings many risks and few rewards. When he delves into the very Substance that holds our world together, he must summon all of his strengths just to stay alive. Until Aoquesth, the dragon, gives him the biggest gift of all.  The adventure continues in Kaza Kingsley's riveting sequel to the best-selling The Dragon's Eye. Follow Erec as he faces delicious villains, a harrowing battle, a secret admirer, missing memory shops, angry mobs, reincarnated ancestors, and ultimate sacrifice. The story is a wild ride of danger and thrills, where we , along with Erec, find out who the real monsters are.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[This was fun to read, but frustrating at times.  I look for the story to advance a bit quicker...some of the story lines don't seem to go anywhere or there isn't any real good explanations being made about what's happening and why.  Erec seems to want things to move along a bit more quickly and so d...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/47947850">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was remarkably better than <em>The Dragon's Eye</em>, mostly just because the story was more original. I also thought that Ms. Kingsley's writing had improved immensely and the characters were a little more developed. Hopefully the next books will be even better.]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This one was better than the first. More puzzles to the story and more action. I'm starting to think with each epilogue at the end of each book, we get a part of what happened to Erec &quot;10 Years Earlier&quot;. Great book. Can't wait until the 3rd one comes out. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I didn't like this book nearly as much as the first Erec Rex book. It was slow. The plot was boring. I hope the third book has more excitement. I am not ready to give up on Erec Rex's life. =)]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I like how Erec makes all sorts of false assumptions; though I figured most of them out he was pretty stubborn.  I also like the way he often knows how to let his friends help him.]]></body>
