Four years after the insidious, devastating invasion by agents of Lon-Ser, Tobyn-Ser's Order of Mages and Masters is riven by conflict and paralyzed by inaction. From the outlander, Baram, they have learned much about their neighbor to the west: unlike Tobyn-Ser, which is served by the Mage-Craft of the Children of Amarid, Lon-Ser is devoid of magic; instead, it possesses a dazzling and deadly technology that shapes every aspect of its people's daily life. Frustrated by the Order's inability to act, Orris, a young, rebellious mage, takes it upon himself to prevent further attacks on his homeland. Taking Baram from his prison, he embarks upon a perilous journey to Bragor-Nal, an enormous, violent city in Lon-Ser, ruled by a brutal, feudal-like system of Break-Laws, Nal-Lords, and Overlords. As Orris soon learns, however, Baram has been driven insane by his captivity. Upon reaching his strange and fractured homeland, the man abandons Orris. Armed only with his magic, Orris is thrust into a world with a language he does not comprehend and a technology he can barely fathom. Together with Gwilym, a man with strange powers, whose vision of Orris has lured him out of the mountains and into the chaos of the Nals, and Melyor, a beautiful Nal-Lord who harbors a secret that could cost her life, Orris must end the threat to Tobyn-Ser without getting himself and his companions killed.… (mer)

Not impressed after all, despite buying on basis of the blurb. Decided not to start as it is Book 2.

Crossposted at Bookstooge.booklikes.blogspot.wordpress.com by express permission of this reviewer   Synopsis The Children of Amarid now know that invaders from Tobyn-Ser's sister land of Lon-Ser are responsible for the deadly attacks on their people. But their Order is paralyzed by infighting and indecision, and it is only a matter of time before the next invasion begins.   My Thoughts It's been 3 1/2 years since I read the previous book, Children of Amarid, and I remember really liking it. But the library didn't have the other books and I wasn't in a position to buy them. Well, thankfully, the library keeps expanding the selection of books it has to lend out.   Let's hear it for Libraries!!!!!!!!!!   This was a good solid read. Nothing spectacular, no super de duper martial arts gorefest, no displays of magic that lit up half the world, but the characters were solid, believable and I felt like rooting for them. I always enjoy a book where I can root for the heroes.   The villains were great as well. Self-righteous mages, power hungry thugs with guns. This book had them BOTH! At one point, where one of the Mages is out to discredit another, I thought some really nasty political stuff was going to happen. Thankfully, the Mage Order simply split. That should show how much I dislike politics :-)   Looking forward to the next book in the series. And if that pans out, exploring even more of Coe's writings.   Rating:4 of 5 Stars   Author: David Coe " ( )

Gezien de uitkomst van mijn ondervragingen van de buitenlander Baram, voel ik mij gedwongen te concluderen dat nieuwe invasies vanuit Lon-Ser in de toekomst onvermijdelijk zijn.
