Kingdom of Denall #2

The Secrets at the Keep

The powerful Baron Omer has been secretly maintaining a slave village under the nose of the king for years. The wealth and political clout he has built for himself have made his sprawling castle complex, known simply as The Keep, the most formidable power center on Denall outside the capitol city. Omer has also been searching for the Stones of Power, using any means necessary to track them down - even striking a deal with the evil sorcerer Mordyar and his stone seekers. Now the stones are coming to him, but not in a way that will bring him any pleasure. Wielding the Sight and Hearing Stones, Kaz Kinsley and the beautiful but mysterious Pentra are on their way to free the slaves and bring Omer down. With the other Stones on the move, Omer's secrets will not remain hidden for long.

Much better

Much better than the first book in the series. Pacing is better. Focus is better. Seems more complete and less episodic.

Brilliant and exciting

The story follows book one of the series in a clear and lucid manner. Very exciting to read and hard to put down.

Lost and confused

Even though I read the first book and enjoyed it very much , I kept getting lost and confused over the extremely numerous main characters . I am involved in the story though so I will continue to read the next book . I just hope that I mean keep up with the many characters .

A great book

If you are looking for magical adventure, you are reading the right book. What an excellent story!! I couldn't put this book down until the last page was turned. The characters are wonderful and you just want to be right there in Omar's Keep to watch the adventure unfold. You will not be disappointed in this novel.

So flat

I'm to sick to bother looking for another book to read. How can you take such a great story idea and make it entirely boring? Not recommended unless you need to go to sleep. I like the characters, I like the magic system, I even like the world, what little we learn about it. But man this is just flat, no hooks to keep you going wondering what's going to happen next.

Good read

Good reading. Plenty of action and a satisfying conclusion the only thing that bothers me is that everyone has some sort of special ability, which makes it not quite as "special" for someone to have them.

Great second book!

The series is good, and I liked the second book. The first was stronger, but I'm hoping in the third the author will make a comeback and write a better book than the previous two.

I don't even know who the main character is, I thought it was Kaz, but he's always on the side.
