The is a sequel to "The Green Rider," which I read shortly after it came out. It was good enough that I bothered to pick up the sequel - but not so good that I really went out of my way to find it.
"First Rider's Call" continues with more of the same. It's fantasy for those who like long stories with girls, horses, light romance and magic. Adequate, entertaining, but nothing really memorable or remarkable.
Karigan, the young woman who was called to the magical royal messenger service known as the Green Riders in the last book, now finds herself at the center of a problem - something is going wrong with the magic. It's becoming unpredictable, often wrong. Could the elflike people known as Eletians be behind this? Or is there a bigger issue going on? Karigan finds spiritual guidance from the first Green Rider, and seeks to solve this problem, sort out her love life, and gain some maturity.

Story was good, some details were either not explained enough or I felt it was unnecessary to the story line. The ending was not very good, answered some questions poorly and left others unanswered.

Karigan is such a likeable character that I only wanted good things to happen to her, but she attracts trouble. There's always something happening, pulling the story along at a fast pace.

I hoped that Miss Bunchberry and Miss Bayberry, the two most interesting and funny characters from the first book, would be part of this story, but they are not.

There's a lot unresolved at the end of First Rider's Call, so there better be another book!

This is a good continuation of the first in the series. The ending leaves you wanting the third in the series. The plot is just a little unfinished.
