Search - A Knight of the Word (The Word and the Void Trilogy, Bk 2)

This is the second book in a series. A very interesting blend of old world fantasy and modern world events. First in the series was Running with the Demon, and I recommend reading it first.

Excellent reading!! Fabulous storyline of good against evil.

It will keep you reading, wanting more!

This installment opens with John Ross, a knight of the word, reneging on his promise to The Lady. He has rejected The Word and is living life as a human with Stephanie Winslow and working for Simon Lawrence at Fresh Start, a homeless shelter for women and children in Seattle. Nest Freemark is now 19 and attending college when an elemental spirit appears and tells Nest of John's fall from grace and the trap the Void is setting for his soul. Nest hightails it to Washington to help John see the light and return to The Word.

I enjoyed the continued story but I was almost lost with all the preaching about the homeless situation in America. Everyone knows about this problem and it was really irrelevant to John and Nest's problems. I did however, truly enjoy the surprise ending and can't wait to see where the series goes with the final installment, Angel Fire East.

Great book by an excellent author. Terry Brooks always writes wonderful books.

This series of books are a great prelude to Armagedon's Children which is the following series. I really enjoyed them.
