I so enjoyed the first book in the series and was happy to find the second book was also very good. Second books in a series are transitional and this one had to take time to setup the new situation, but once the plot was firing it was firing on all cylinders. The major characters from the first book are now semi-working together and the same type of humor is evident.

This series is kind of a cross between the craft of Diane Winne Jones and Sir Terry Pratchett and I don't make that comparison lightly. Humor and a good fantasy adventure - but not a traditional one.
