Joseph Murphy is at it again with another whacked out fantasy adventure. I really must commend Mr. Murphy's obviously rich imagination, because in this book, it shows absolutely no bounds. Everything is fair game in this sequel to the first book, Council of Peacocks (a book I found quite interesting, if moderately tedious at times).
I much preferred this sequel which, as with many sequels, begins with characters and setting already intact. I love the feeling of diving back into a world that has a ...more
