After enjoying the first in this trilogy I was sad when the story skipped around and didn't really make sense. The entire plague itself I felt was far fetched. I think a much better conflict could have been chosen, or at least a different disease. Without placing any spoilers it is difficult to say how the plot line became disjointed, but suffice to say that I didn't really understand the entire last section of the book. The Gods of magic confused me with their way of dealing with the situation presented to them, and I still have no clue why fairies were brought into this. Is there really a point to knowing about the Tuatha? I admit I was interested at first but then they just seemed like filler. I was happy to see a variety of creatures from the magical realms that normally do not get recognition and it's nice to pick through the spells and see ones from the D&D world. Guerrand is still an interesting character to read about, though I missed the commentary from Zag, it just wasn't included much this time. I do hope the next book makes up for this one and can somehow tie together the confusing bits.
