Title: Disappointing!
Review: After a promising start in Lord of the Isles, David Drake has given us a confusing, hackneyed sequel that makes me wish I had never started the series. It is another "quest" story, where an ill-assorted group of characters get together to save their world from the forces of evil. The approach is common, but doesn't have to be as bad as this one has become. The members of the group find themselves in a series of difficulties that fail to either advance the plot or increase our knowledge of the characters. Why must all these authors write their stories in ever-increasing serials? David Eddings did it with humour, which made it worth while slogging through six books, and Robert Jordan is up to number eight, but at least his stories are interesting. Mr. Drake only succeeded in confusing the plot with his forays into other planes and apparent alternate realities. Dead characters reappear without explanation, or are replaced with thinly disguised doubles.
