The is the second book of a series. It's been a while since I read the first book. The author's writing style is some times terse when it comes to actual events and the description of what is going on. He frequently has characters mentioning terms and facts without some related background. I think it is a difficult book to finish quite frankly. He certainly is creative. But his world that he has created seems incomplete. The story line also follows two plots. One path follows the life of
