First of all, I love that they're taking Christine adventuring with them, and I hope she comes along often because I love her. Overall though I liked this somewhat less than the first one. I felt like some of the conflicts and even the solutions were repeated, and if it's already getting repetitive in the second book, then I don't know what's going on in the rest. Also, there were a few cases of me holding my head, because for an intelligent man, Whyborne can be really dumb sometimes.

The horrors were unspeakable and horroristic, almost more sci-fi than fantasy this time.

p.s. More Saul, please.
