The Dragon Token

I must say this one was pretty engrossing. A good feeling that almost matched up to the first trilogy. It's the middle book of a trilogy though so there's not much going on in terms what's really behind the reason of the war. It's more like a regroup and lull before the storm.

The pacing is great and although there's a lot of perspective jumps, did not find it confusing in the least. What I find rather remarkable is that despite having so many characters in the spotlight, and all over the world, the author still manages to make them quite unique, and able to weave their relationship changes, their emotions, their growth all within the context of the conflict. The last few chapters kept me glued just so I find out exactly what sort of cliffhangers will await me before plunging into book 3 next - it's a good thing to read trilogies published years ago - no need to wait before reading the next one!
