This is the better half of the first book Dusk. While that book was about set up this is all about trying to get to the payoff. Some characters get lost. One character gets a great setup than disappears before the end of the book. Its supposed to be a story about magic returning but by the end I stopped caring about that. The ending is good thats why I rated it higher than Dusk. I treated them both as one book broken in two and rated on that.
After how awesome the DUSK was I was a little let down. It still is a really good book, better than most fantasy novels i have read, but not as good as the first book.
Tim Lebbon is just not for me in the end. He's got a fertile, fresh imagination, but the characters and plot just don't quite come together for me.
