The Hunting of the Princes

Queen of Dreams #2

by Peter F. Hamilton

Taggie has had a busy year. From finding out she's the queen-to-be of a magical realm to learning to use magic . . . to discovering that someone wants her dead!

Assassins have been targeting royal heirs throughout the magical realms, and everyone thinks the Karrak invaders are responsible. War seems inevitable - yet Taggie has just found out two very interesting facts. Firstly, that the Karraks come from a completely different universe. And secondly, that there was once a gate to this universe - now lost in the mists of time.

If Taggie and her friends can find the gate, perhaps they can also stop the war? But to do so they need to find a Karrak who will take their side . . .

[Andreas · Rating 4 out of 5]

After the somewhat standalone narrative of The Secret Throne, Taggie and Jemima are back in England. After a series of assassination attempts against royals, they must face a threat not only to the First Realm, but to all the realms. The adventure takes them to the occupied Fourth Realm, where winter and evil reign.

The second book in the series is more complex and more exciting than the first, as if Mr. Hamilton is becoming more comfortable with the fantasy medium. The story is both engaging and thought provoking, as characters of supposed integrity find their beliefs and ethics challenged when confronted with adversity.

Okay, though the whole book did feel like somewhat of a setup for the final volume, without having that much of a plot as a standalone.
