Kihrin D'Mon is a wanted man. Since he destroyed the Stone of Shackles and set demons free across Quur, he has been on the run from the wrath of an entire empire. His attempt to escape brings him into the path of Janel Theranon, a mysterious Joratese woman who claims to know Kihrin. Janel's plea for help pits Kihrin against all manner of dangers: a secret rebellion, a dragon capable of destroying an entire city, and Kihrin's old enemy, the wizard Relos Var. Janel believes that Relos Var possesses one of the most powerful artifacts in the world--the Cornerstone called the Name of All Things. And if Janel is right, then there may be nothing in the world that can stop Relos Var from getting what he wants. And what he wants is Kihrin D'Mon.… (plus d'informations)

This is an exciting continuation of the first in this series, "Ruin of Kings". I really like that this book focused on Janel's character... badass women abound in this series!

My gripe with this book is that it REALLY needs a list of ALL the characters, and their relationships, and their current and prior/other names. I really struggled to keep up with the story/deeper plot because I could not keep all the players straight, esp synced I read "Ruin of Kings" quite some time ago. (

The second book tells Janel's story of what she was up to during The Ruin of Kings. Characters (and events) from the first book pop up here. I enjoyed the expanding worldbuilding, especially of Jorat and Joratese customs.

We learn more about Relos Var's possible motivations; he seems to be pulling a Xanathos Gambit. No matter what the heroes do (or not do), it ends up furthering his plans.

I didn't enjoy it as much as the first book in the series - i really missed Talon's voice. The use of alternating narrators seemed much more forced. That said, i still love the footnotes. (And i kind of want to be Ninavis when i grow up.) I don't say this often, but i really wish the books had maps and genealogies in addition to the various glossaries. (

I have never wished for a family tree more (

Good. It took a bit to get going and the duplicate framing felt a little forced but it really picked up in the end. I'm excited for the sequel (and hopefully final book?). (

Like the previous volume in this series, this book tells a complex, epic fantasy story. Overall, a compelling tale, but I found I didn't like this one nearly a much as I enjoyed The Ruin of Kings. (

Kihrin D'Mon is a wanted man. Since he destroyed the Stone of Shackles and set demons free across Quur, he has been on the run from the wrath of an entire empire. His attempt to escape brings him into the path of Janel Theranon, a mysterious Joratese woman who claims to know Kihrin. Janel's plea for help pits Kihrin against all manner of dangers: a secret rebellion, a dragon capable of destroying an entire city, and Kihrin's old enemy, the wizard Relos Var. Janel believes that Relos Var possesses one of the most powerful artifacts in the world--the Cornerstone called the Name of All Things. And if Janel is right, then there may be nothing in the world that can stop Relos Var from getting what he wants. And what he wants is Kihrin D'Mon.
