LitPick Review
Months after Reiffen was saved from the clutches of the three Wizards, he returns to them. But this time he does it of his own free will, so that he can try and outsmart the Wizards. However, as Reiffen learns more magic, he is forced to do terrible things. When evidence of his deeds emerge, Reiffen's best friends, Avender and Ferris, begin to wonder if the Wizards have "turned" him. As the countries are destroyed by war with the Wizards, Avender is forced to choose his loyalty. And Ferris struggles between the part of her that still believes Reiffen is good, and the part of her that wants to leave him behind.
Opinion:
At first I couldn't really get into the book because it was a sequel and I had never read the first one. However, once I started getting deeper into it, I thought the book was really good. I really liked how S.C. Butler switched from Ferris' point of view, to Avender's to Reiffen's. It added to the suspense and kept the book moving. Overall, I thought it was a great book, and it is perfect for anyone who enjoys fantasy and magic.
