I rated this 4 1/2 Stars, because in the beginning I would have given it 4 Stars but at the end I would have given it 5 Stars. The reason being that although the beginning is well written, it moved a little slowly. There were several places early on that Chase used to remind readers of what had transpired in the previous novel. So for those that had to wait for months to read Book 2, this was probably very helpful. For someone like me, who had just finished Book 1, I did a lot of skimming in those parts. Also, the beginning of the novel lays down the ground work for what is about to come. It was interesting but just didn't give you that gripping feeling. However, once the group take off on their quest things start to get more and more interesting. At that point I did not want anyone or anything to pull me away from the story. And the story just kept getting better and better!
I loved the way everything played out and how Chase wove faith and truth all throughout this tale! You could see Chase's faith coming into play by the last part of Book 1... The symbolism and allegory was, and continued to be in this Book as well, fantastic!
I am giddy now with the wonder and beauty of this story! Loved it! AND I cannot wait for Book 3, that is set to be released this summer, featuring none other than... the young pirate captain/prince, Cazien de Pollis and Erielle de Gladiel!!! Seriously, cannot wait!
** I would recommend this book to YA readers as well. While there is violence in the story but it is not fleshed out and the romance is very sweet, with some mild kissing.
* There are also a few typos in the novel, nothing major. A good example would be a word like THE being missing from a sentence.
