Rendition Conducive To Books To Darkness Fled (Blood of Kings #2)
Enter darkness...They have no choice. Chased by an evil prince, Achan, Vrell, and the Kingsguard knights flee into Darkness. They head north, for Tsaftown and Ice Island, where they must free an army that can help them fight for Er’Rets.
Darkness sickens Vrell. How long can she keep her secret without being caught? Achan already suspects her of lying. If she is not careful, he will suspect her of treason as well. She hopes he will let his suspicions go until they reach her home.
Achan wanted freedom, but this new journey has bound him more than ever. Sir Gavin’s claims are so far fetched. First, that there might only be one God, and second, that this God chose Achan to push back Darkness, the magnificent curse of Er’Rets. Him. Achan. Barely a man himself.
Each setback Darkness brings seems minor compared to the one choice only Achan can make. What will he choose?

The first book in this series was interesting, a solid entry into the fantasy genre. This book, however, is ruined by its attempt at proselytizing Christianity. The writing was lazy and distracted from the story. I'm all for a writer fleshing out his world with religion, but don't simply lift Christianity whole-cloth, with nothing but a few changed names. I tried to ignore the preaching, but at the point Jesus Christ showed up, I just couldn't read any more.I know - I only give fives SELDOM, if ever.Man, oh, man, was is a good series. Really Good. It's going to be a long winter if I have to wait for the third one until next April. Can I be your crit partner if I promise not to crit,Jill?
I saw before I read this that other readers disliked it strongly, saying it is excessively preachy. I was looking for that and didn't see it. It seemed a natural progression to me to include more on the religion, as the first book led up to it. Not having it in there would have been utterly inconsistent. There was less action and more dialogue in this one than in the first, but I didn't see that as a bad thing. In both books, a LOT happens in a short time, but I suppose it would if you were
Wow, Ms Williamson really hit her stride with this one. There is more of the Christian aspect in this book, and the lead teenaged characters do a lot of growing up-setting the stage for the third book. Some of the plot is obvious to the reader, but is delivered so smoothly that you don't mind being led there-in the light-so to speak. I am anxiously awaiting the next installment.
What a great book. I really liked book one and this second book in the series did not disappoint. It was like what 'Empire Strike Back' was like in Star Wars. A great middle story that left you at bit on the down side but sets things up to the next installment. I can't wait a year to find out what happens!
Jill Williamson did not disappoint me with the second book. In fact, I only got one hour of sleep last night trying to finish it. The story takes delightful turns, and at the end, it is hard to believe how tight and seamlessly it flowed. Loved it. Loved it.
It's been a long time since I've shipped two characters this hard. Maybe, to those of you who know how much I like to ship a good ship, this sounds like an exaggeration, but you could only understand if you knew just what I mean by "this hard."Answer: REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hard.Jill Williamson really outdid herself with this sequel. I didn't want it to end! And now that it's over, I'm desperate for book 3. (Good thing I have it sitting on my nightstand already.)Every page of this
