While not as engaging as its predecessor, it was still enjoyable. Although I'm not expert, I'm guessing Walter Farley did considerable research when it came to the middle eastern parts. An entertaining read, just not when compared with book one.
A surprisingly even-handed treatment of the Middle East, written so long ago that getting there from New York took 6 days by plane. Heart-pounding excitement, the most wonderful horses ever, and a deeply satisfying conclusion. There's a reason that this is still the horse series.
