review 1: I wish I could get into these books, but I find the frequent grammatical errors to be downright distracting. I may be more of a stickler for punctuation than most people, but the rampant lack of commas alone makes me want to pull my hair out and scream--- in part because the universe and fantastical elements could otherwise make the story quite entertaining. (It wouldn't be a great work of literature, but could stand on its own as light fantasy.)An example: " 'At least one of you has some sense then. How much longer are you going to be Mort?' [...] 'Not long, an hour or two.' 'Alright, Dorian if you would be so kind?' " would be SO MUCH BETTER if an editor took even a cursory pass: " 'At least one of you has some sense, then. How much longer are you going to be, Mort?' [..... more.] 'Not long, an hour or two.' 'All right. Dorian, if you would be so kind?' "I hope that the author can find someone to help him edit his work. For now, though, I'm sad to say I won't be buying any more in this series.
review 2: Ahhh...the story proceeds. I'm really enjoying this series, which is good as most of the books/series I've "really" liked lately have proved to be the only one available in that series for the next year.I found the characters fairly interesting from the get-go in this tale and got this one not long after I finished the first. There we saw Mordecai find who he really is, find his true love (and as much as I "don't" care for romance I survived it), come into his power, fight his first big battle and so on. Good book.Now he has assumed the responsibilities of his identity (and that's all we'll say about that as I wouldn't want you to skip the first book due to something I said). The romance and interpersonal relationships ramp up a bit here...but again i found it survivable. The characters are still interesting, the story is still well constructed, interesting, and fast moving. You get action and plot with characters you can believe.It also has me wanting to follow it up with the next volume.Why only 4 stars then? Well, it's not up to some of my favorite books...but I reserve the right to come back and up the rating later.Recommended. Enjoy. less
