This right here, was a great squeal. i really love the way Wellington describes the action scenes. They were epic, i mean when he talks about injuries and combat i just say "whoa". Also i found it interesting how he in corporates the folk-lore in this book. i do think it was a little difficult to get at times when he describes it. Though the nice thing is when you read a lot of books they help. For instance they talk about the Direwolf and that made me think of Guardians of Ga'Hoole..than when they talk about Dzo and how he works, really made me think of Ice, or East, And Sun,moon,snow and Ice. they all sorta helped because they all talk about the same Folklore. i wonder if he really will do a third book or something i mean the end was like "whaaa..wait but i why?" I really like the new faces in this story and the backgrounds of the characters. it made the book characters just seem deeper or more so real. it was sad to see certain one come and go though..overall i really enjoyed it. i give it a solid 5.
