Helpful Score: 2

Nest and John Ross return in the second installment of the series called "The Word and Void Trilogy." John Ross has forsaken his duties as a Knight of the Word and the Lady has assigned Nest to convince him to get his act back together.

While I found the story entertaining, I did not find it as gripping as the first book "Running with the Demon." Not to say I didn't like it, but we are talking apples and oranges here. Brooks slows down the pace considerably here and the characters do much more navel gazing. I did enjoy the chase scene between a demon and one of the characters . . . pretty intense.

If you liked "Running with the Demon" you'll like "A Knight of the Word" but just expect something different. Sometimes change is good.
