--Spoilers for the first book--This one was even better than the first book! I wasn't really expecting a lot from this before I read it. The reason is that the first book had a really good ending. The Lord Ruler died, so I thought, what more could happen? I didn't realize that the book would be...

The first book saw the heroes overcome the semi-immortal bad guy who had ...
We've been listening to this in the car. Not as good as the first one, IMO, but still very enjoyable.
