Not bad. I like Farree. There are a lot of typos, though - Land for Lanti, want for wand, and the god who was Molaster in the first book is Molester here (whoops!). The story is a lot more straightforward - well, still plots and puzzles, but Krip and Maelen's parts, and Farree's, are quite simple. Maelen's motives are somewhat obscure - she and Krip are never viewpoint characters, here - but the general idea is clear, she's half-hoping to go home again. Farree is a little annoying, with his perpetual self-denigration, and the speed with which that changes when his hump breaks. I can see his point of self-defense, but the way he assumes they think of him as an animal...don't know. But he's a nice kid, and he does eventually develop a show more sense of pride - a little too dependent on the wings, maybe, but give him a chance. Overall fun, and I wouldn't mind rereading, but I wouldn't mind not either. Read the last and decide. show less
This is a satisfying follow-up to the other two books in the Moonsinger series, and definitely deserving of a read. On to book number four...
