The Wells Of Ythan #2
Magic Casements
The land lies in disrepair…
Will Ythan rise again … or crumble into dust forever?
The Wolf King holds court in River Garde; in Danaak, the Regent is ensorceled, gradually becoming something … tainted: the evil of the enchantment turns even on its own acolytes …
Legend tells of the fall of Ythan, of a lost Princess lying bewitched in the depths of an unknown wilderness. With her lies the key to the lifting of the Enchantment that has spread its corruption over fair Ythan.
The task of finding her has fallen to unlikely hands: an apprentice toymaker, a spoiled young nobleman, a court jester and a motley crew of misfits.
But the evil has turned on itself, the corruption gnawing at its own innards; and now the Regent of Danaak, afflicted with a creeping, sorcerous horror, can find hope only in the waters of the legendary Wells of Ythan.
Two legends: in one lies hope for Ythan, in the other despair.

I really enjoyed the book, and whilst it's a shame some characters come and go, just as they get interesting, the main characters remain and grow.
Looking forward to part 3.

This is the 2nd book in the series as the quest for Livia continues. I have a strong suspicion who Princess Livia actually is but remains to be seen if I am correct on my assumption. There is an interesting surprise for one of the characters and the reader in the last couple of chapters in this novel. I am anxious to find out what adventures and growth the characters experience in book #3 in this series.

The second book in the series. Kristian, Alwad and assorted companions, are still searching for the Princess Livia. They must travel to the city of Tharn to find the next clues in their Quest, but the Regent has sent his army there to destroy the heretic priests. Getting across the desert and into a town under siege is bad enough, but escaping again proves just as challenging. And once they do, they come across a mysterious domain with problems of its own. In order to get on with their quest, they must stay to help.
Like the first part, the pseudo old-fashioned language gets a bit annoying, but once that is ignored, the story is mildly entertaining. Nothing earth-shattering or original, but an ok fantasy. The constant adventures are a bit tiring too, distractions from the main story that don't always add anything to the plot. But despite all that, I did enjoy the read. On to book number three.
