Members Reviews:

Mystery elements are awesome, glued to book the whole time. Hendee's are awesome!

*Warning Spoilers*

This book is by far the better of the 3 Wynn Hygeorht books. The first book seemed to me like a re-introduction of Wynn, with the authors changing her setting from Leesil and Magiere's homeland to Wynn's. The first/second book I'll admit was a little slow but understandable considering Wynn is realtively young and inexperienced sage but still good. Having said that, Wynn really comes into her own in this book. Although she is still a bit naive and lacking the experience of age. In the end she and her companions accomplish a huge task by find another of the fabled Orbs of the ancient ENEMY. The beggining of the book readers might get frustrated with Wynn's superiors because the readers know that Wynn is really on the path to finding the lost city of Ballale Seatt, but that's part of the story of the Sage's Guild vying for control and trying to keep the reality of currnet events from the general public. not to mention the fact the Wynn is openly defiant of her superiors and totally underestimated in the long run. My favorite part of this book was the intricate way the authors layed out and described the long journey to Ballale Seatt. The Hendee's shrouded the journey to the fabled city of the Dwarves in mystery masterfully, which kept me glued to the book. The final scenes in Ballale Seatt to some my seem anticlimnatic, but taking into consideration that Wynn is young and inexperienced and still accomplishing and amazing feat by finding the ancient orb with her rag tag group.

Another reviewer stated that the reunion of Wynn, Magiere, Leesil and Chap at the end of the book was akward, I totally disagree. Since I follow this series very closely I already knew that Wynn would eventually find Magiere and Leesil again for the upcoming 3rd Series. And it seemed to me at the end of this book was the best time for her friends to return. With her friends back from their own quest I'm anxious to see what kind of resistance the guild and the kingdom is going to use on Wynn and her friends, cuz as you all know Magiere and Leesil won't take the same kinda of crap Wynn has been getting.

All in all, I consider this the best book of the 2nd Noble Dead series. While there is not as much action in these three books, the mysterious element written in to the journey to Ballale Seatt was awesome and kept me glued and guessing. I recommend this book to all followers to the Noble Dead series and it's also an important installment to the overall story.

One final persoanl note, I read this book while deployed to Iraq and was glued to this book the whole time.
