Wings of Wrath (The Magister Trilogy #2) 
Second book of this series, I was drooling for it because I LOVE CS Friedman! This is a bit of a "middle child" book, but I enjoy the world a lot. I wish I had read the first one nearer to this one to remember the world more better. I felt like I wanted to identify with some of the characters a bit more deeply than I did, but I still enjoyed it. Some really chilling scenes.
Please note - I'm reading this book without the benefit of having read the first book in the series. I got the book at a book-swap event but the rest of the series wasn't available. If I read the first book at some point, I may revise my opinion.The story is intriguing and the world-building is well done. I can't say I like the magic system very much but it works within the context of the story.I found it difficult to connect with most of the characters. Perhaps this is due to not having read

I quickly devoured C.S. Friedman's Wings of Wrath because I needed to know where it was going next. While Feast of Souls was Kamala's story, Wings of Wrath gives the rest of the cast a lot more to do and care about, and the book benefits from it. In my opinion it benefits from spending less time on the petty politics and actions of the Magisters, with the stakes much higher. I felt even more sympathy for Siderea this time, and I'm very happy with Gwynofar getting out of the castle and more into
I enjoyed this book, but as always with series where the newest book follows at some distance from the previous, I had only a hazy recollection of what had happened in the first book. Much came back to me as I read, however. The magisters are an interesting premise and Friedman, as always, does the somewhat dark fantasy well. Don't think that this is up there with "the coldfire trilogy" or "In Conquest Born," but did enjoy this book. I'm sure I'll have totally forgotten it by the time the 3rd
Another fantastic read, the plot is outstanding , really looking forward to the third book
An excellent continuation of book 1, and things get even more grimdark.

Not as polished as the first book, but still an enjoyable read. And what it lacks in tightly packed cohesion, it makes up for in depth of characterization: characters are driven logically by their motivations here, and are capable of changing their minds about things. They feel realistically like *people* in a way many authors neglect. (and, to be fair, this isn't the only 'good' way to write characters, but it is a compelling one)The thematic change from survival to sacrifice was a surprise,Second book of this series, I was drooling for it because I LOVE CS Friedman!
