Steeds for the Secondborn
|
|
Very amazing till the end of the book. You can start guessing from the first but after you get the last chapter, you'll have your reward nicely. Aeriel's journey continued after saving the halfmade "Darkangel" and change him back into a mortal Prince Irrylath. Their return to Easterness (Isterness) was greeted by the prince's mother, Lady Syllva and his secondborn brothers. Engulfed by his past sins, Irrylath kept distance with his "Darkangel" fourteenth wife despite of Aeriel's effort. Such a heartwrenching situation despaire her. But her task was not over yet. With the help of the other 13 angel brides, she got the second of the three of The Lady Ravenna's stanzas and set of to fulfill the prophecy. Her main quest was to find the lost lons before the Withe Witch found them. Will she succeed? Can she cross the distance between her and Irrylath?

Good sequel

While it's true Aeriel isn't the strongest or most interesting female character ever, as mentioned in another review, the incredible imagination of the author more than makes up for Aeriel's shortcomings. I wish all fantasy authors could come up with such original, intriguing ideas. I especially liked the Sea of Dust (literally a sea!) and the apricoks. Wow. Thanks, Meredith Ann Pierce. It's not quite as good as The Darkangel, but very different, more new ideas and definitely a worthwhile sequel.

They say that Aeriel must set out to find the lost lons aka the Wardens of the World before the White Witch's "sons" find them and get rid of them. So Aeriel sets out to find the lost lons and on that journey she meets new people and gains new friends. Read the book to find out more!!

Aerial is a pitiful and weak character

This book is so sappy that ever page you turn just makes you want to drop the book down and puke. If you like reading about a weak, horrid, dull, whiny, annoying and above all...pitiful female character with no soul, passion, or feelings but greed, this is the book for you.

This book always kept me on edge. I especially liked when she found the six gargoyles. I liked that they protected her and wouldn't let anything get to her. Near the conclusion it kept my heart on edge with the blind woman and everything. I am a major science fiction reader and i think this is one of the best yet.
