review 1: A bit duller than the first novel, but that's to be expected as this is the second act and thus the dreaded "travel where you need to be" gets full attention. A few of the characters seem to simply be there to exist until a future date, and I fear that some of the side stories have gotten out of hand (especially the ones that wrap up in a decidedly deux ex machina way, such as a creature who hadn't been mentioned showing up and killing off enemies or other various "Oh look it was here I just didn't tell you about it" solutions).
review 2: Honestly, I stopped reading this one at chapter 88. His writing style of jumping around from setting to setting and character group to character group every single chapter got really old to me. It felt like it was taking wa... morey longer than needed to tell the story. And, the way he began to just randomly kill off seemingly major characters was unappealing to me.I may pick it up again and finish it at a later date, but I've got to move on for now. less
