Helpful Score: 2

The story is great, but there are quite a lot of irrelevant and unnecessary parts. The plot is very complex and intricate and often a bit overly involved. This long tale 600 pages was only a mere installment in the overall story. Yes, there was a crisis and it was averted. The characters were challenged, but the DYer wall is still crumbling and they dont know how to fix it, the evil has still yet to be completely vanquished, and Kerrigans role is still unclear. Individually, the depth of the characters is quite intricate. But there are a lot of them and it isnt always clear how they interact in the larger story. You can see that Kerrigan should be with the King, although it isnt at all clear if that will happen or not. It appears that Kerrigan should be the Captain of the Green Riders or will be at some point, although that isnt certain. I would expect that the wall will be fixed and that the evil will be thwarted, but wonder how many more books Ill have to read to get to that point.

I liked the involvement of the First Rider and the way they were able to find out about the Green Rider's history. I liked how they found the horn at the end, although I'd have liked it better if Kerrigan had been able to sound it rather than the Captain.
