I'm a huge fan of The Wheel of Time, by Jordan. That said, I have jaded views of lesser fiction. I picked up the first book in this series, and was impressed. The world built here is mysterious and wonderful, as well as dark and frightening. I highly recommend this series.

Waiting for next book.
I received this book from Netgalley for an honest review. DNF at 25%. The story follows an assassin in " medeival" times, called the Dark Blood. I found it slow and felt like I was slogging through it. Some redeeming parts, but not enough to continue.
Rham Jas Rami is on a mission that only he can do. But he is going to need help. And he is going to have to complete it quickly.

In the second installment of the Long War, the title moves from Brom (the Black Guard) to Rham Jas Rami (the assassin with uncanny powers) who is the only person who can get past their dark magic and kill one of the Seven Sisters. All the living characters from the first book continue their story as well, including interesting intersections between them as knights confront Free Company barbarians, southern warriors against merchant cities, and the introduction to a new race and participant in the Long War and perhaps the last Old Blood.

What I enjoy about this book is that while characters do rise and some die, they all evolve. They aren't the same caricatures of fantasy heroes that serve their function and then pass away. They also aren't morally ambiguous. I love that several characters who are enemies, remain enemies, but join the battle against the dark god who is trying to win the Long War. Why? Because right or wrong outweigh nationality. And good characters are good, bad characters are bad. I find this better and more enjoyable, like Tolkien, rather than the moral mess that Martin has started (but not finished.)

I'm very much looking forward to the third installment. This is epic fantasy in a very well crafted world with characters I enjoy reading about.

A copy was provided by the publisher for review.
Well written and a good read
This really is quite good. Where many 2nd in series struggle (i.e. hurry up an finish so we can get to book 3) this continues right from where book 1 left off and keeps the pace and development of the story right where it needs to be. With quite a large cast and some-time between books 1 and 2, I had to do a little bit of back and forwards... But If you havn't read book 1, get them both and enjoy!
Has all the elements to keep the reader fascinated with what comes next.An interesting world with interesting peoples and creatures, and with all the twists and turns of a Game of Thrones.
I'm a huge fan of The Wheel of Time, by Jordan. That said, I have jaded views of lesser fiction. I picked up the first book in this series, and was impressed. The world built here is mysterious and wonderful, as well as dark and frightening. I highly recommend this series.
