[QUOTE="Meech17, post: 9259552, member: 7044459"] I own both of them, and have read the first. It's fine. It's not the kind of book that made me run to all my friends who read fantasy and insist that they read it because it blew me away.. But I didn't hate it. The pacing was good and the characters were enjoyable. With that said it's been a couple years and the sequel is still on my TBR list. So it obviously didn't impress me that much. I do intend to read it soon though. I'm trying to read more, and I've just finished my second book for the year. I can't help but wonder this as well.
