Helpful Score: 2
This book is a sequel to Spellbinder. Unlike Spellbinder, however, it just pretends to be a fantasy novel. It is primarily a rant of the author's political opinions on the subjects of abortion, homosexuality, sexual slavery, prostitution, civic duty/participation, prejudice, and religion - the fantasy storyline appears at irregular intervals. If that is what you are looking for, go for it. Otherwise, be warned.
I agree with the previous reviewer. The book lacks substance and is less about telling a story and more about telling the writers opinion. The truly sad thing is Melanie Rawn has written several awesome novels. This is not one of them.
