Much better than the first.

All believed the Black Warlock to be defeated. But Thalasi and Reinheiser were now both sharing the same body. Once harmony was established, he and his evil Talons began their campaign anew to make a new dark world. Brielle had forever lost Del, but now had a lovely daughter, Rhiannon, who was blessed with the same powers as her mother witch. On her twentieth birthday, Rhiannon's wish was to travel with the Rangers and see the world. She found more than she bargained for! The Black Warlock had thousands upon thousands within his army. The witch and mages were kept busy against the warlock as the others were out numbered 4-to-1 or 10-to-1. But Rhiannon was learning her own powers and feared the devastation she could call up through her magic. But once she learned to control her fear and do what must be done, the Black Warlock and his dead General Mitchell would be in trouble. **** Exciting from the beginning! Much better than the first of this series. Magical spells, dragons, and battles on nearly every page. A fast paced read that you will fully enjoy.

Pure enjoyment

R. A. Salvatore outdid himself. This novel has everything, action, humor and romance. I'm waiting for a fourth book in this series. It's worth reading.

All R.A. Salvatore's books

I am a writer want-to-be and hope that i can write half as good as Salvatore. His characters have a solidness to them as if he was describing a real person. I would love to get his autograph. His workmis equal to my other most favorite author - Stephen King. Continue on Salvatore!

Excellent book, a great addition to any fantasy collection.

Excellent book and excellent writing (as always). This book is very well written and very interesting. It keeps to R.A. Salvatore's tradition of writing only the best. I would highly recommend it for any sci\fi-fantasy reader. Only problem I saw was trying to relate it to Echo's of the Fourth Magic, since it occured quite a few years after that. Other than that, the story and characters were very well and make this novel incredibly hard to put down.

A significant sequel to Echoes of the Fourth Magic

The Witch's Daughter takes place 20 years after the conclusion of Echoes of the Fourth Magic. It picks up dealing with the loose ends left at the end of the first one including the transformation of Reinheiser into Thalasi and the birth of Del's and Brielle's child, Rhiannon. To spice up the book, Salvatore added a Drizzt character named Bryan. The book offers better depictions of Ynis-Aielle and envelops the reader in that Utopia. Yet it also incorporates much of the style of Legacy by preaching periodically and detailing a drawn out war against the good people of Ynis-Aielle. The story follows Salvatore's style of jumping from a variety of important events thereby binding you to the story. Furthermore, a variety of plot turns and additions to the Ynis Aielle world leave loose ends to be completed in the last two books of the series. The Witch's Daughter is a more comlex followup to Echoes of the Fourth Magic providing the reader with a better glimpse into the world first shown in Echoes. It brings fond recollections of many of the Icewind Dale heroes but also starts to draw upon the war and preaching style of the books written after this one including Legacy and Starless Night.
