I couldn't wait to get back to Ilvernath after finishing the first book. In this sequel, we pick up the story right where we ended, which I liked, and I'm glad I read this one shortly after finishing the first book, or I might have been confused.
In this book, the authors take some liberties with the rules they established for the magic system, and this book was a lot more "telling" than "showing." It was still a good conclusion, though.
