review 1: I enjoyed this follow up book. It was nice that the characters plans didn't go off 100% but, unfortunately, we're given a whole bunch of ... strangeness in return of that.Like they're looking for this book (for some reason that the book never completely explains -- it's a book of erotic poems, I mean, come on!) and this elf has it so she gets passage on this ship and then ... has to play a card game similar to poker to continue in her journey? This while everyone is doing other things. It was just weird, these little side trips.Then there was the ending... Now, I don't mean the twist but rather the last chapter. It just stops in the middle of things. You know enough about the characters to know what seemed to happen didn't actually happen but you're not given any reason wh... morey they did it because then the book ends. There is the implied reason that I get but it feels rather shallow, compared to everything that had just happened.But overall, I enjoyed this book and god! Those mother jokes still amuse me. XD
review 2: Everything that I loved about the first book is back in this second one. I cant say enough good things about the wit and banter between these characters, its full of awesome one-liners and has a good mix of some pretty incredible action set pieces as well! I love, loved it! Weekes has fleshed his characters out so well you immediately connect with them! They are full of personality, charm, and quirks and I cant help but wish I was right along side of them - even when they are in the most dire of circumstances!I follow Patrick Weekes on Twitter and know that he is a very active D&D role-player, and after reading these two novels of his I cant tell you enough how badly I would love to sit in on some of his campaigns. Me thinks it would be a pretty incredible experience!Anyways, if you have read the first book - no worries - you're gonna love this one too! If you haven't read his first book...well...go read it, silly, Its fun and best of all when you finish it you can read this one straight away afterwords!Its a win-win! less
