Much better than Children of Amarid

I agree with much of what not4prophet writes about this book, particularly with regard to the action scenes, dialogue, and quicker pace. I also agree with his criticisms about the frank dumbness of folks in the Order. Coe could certainly have constructed a more plausible scenario / description of turmoil within the Order.However I give this book 5 stars because it is head and shoulders above most fantasy / sci fi out there, and it's such an improvement over Coe's first book, the Children of Amarid. I truly enjoyed this book and can't wait to get my hands on the next one.

Great book with just enough to make you come back for more

This books is awesome. He has exceptional characterisation and great world building. I found myself drawn into the intriquies of both tobyn ser and lon ser. He makes the characters real and they pop out of the pages embracing the whole world giving it color and life. I loved reading every word of it. Quest fantasies usually follow a couple of themes and this one is no different but what makes it uniquie is how the heros accomplish what they want to accomplish and the different sub plots that add to the dynamic and colorfull tapestry of this world.

One of my all time favorite sequils

The Outlanders is one of the best books I've ever read, it's outstanding! Jaryd, Baden, they're all back to fight, or alli, the strange people from another world. Coe uses the perfect words at the perfect times to put you in the setting, he makes you part of the story. If you loved the first book, I garuntee you'll like the continuation just as much!
