Byron V. (vermillion) reviewed on 8/13/2011 + 17 more book reviews

This is the second in a series and Eddings keeps the action moving. Evil minions have captured the King's infant son in order to perorm some unspeakable sacrifice, and to rescue him, the heroes travel south to the land of the Murgos, a race that they have perpetually clashed with. However, the Murgo King turns out to be a surprise, which adds a nice twist to the plot. The characters are a bit cartoonish, but in a fantasy like this, who cares? The story is fun, entertaining, and full of twists and turns. Highly recommend the whole series.
