The second book of The Black Magician trilogy starts off at a rapid pace like its prequel. We get more involved in
some of the support characters and learn more about them. The plot is just as strong as the first book with more twists
and some of our questions being answered. Trudi keeps the reader absolutely confused about the reality surrounding the
strange activities of the High Lord and this ambiguity is handled very well.
I have enjoyed this fantasy thoroughly thus far and would recommend it to all fantasy readers. It is different in terms of
the plot, the "world" and the balance of magic and reality.
