I am a great fan of Highflight's SERRAted Edge series, and other assorted 'elf' books, including Sherman's 'Son of Darkness'. I have bought both 'The Shattered Oath' and 'Forging the runes', and found them to be an interesting change from the urban settings of others I have read. There is a lot of history casually woven in. Book II sees Ardagh once again trying to figure out his place in an entirely human court, helped by the fact that some of his friends now know what he is. But when King Aedh proposes he act as an Ambassador to another court, Ardagh lands in trouble once again - right in the middle of a blood-drinking sorceror's bid for power. Better, we get to see Ardagh try at being part of an ordinary, human relationship. My only question is, what happened to Book III? It does say 'Prince of the Sidhe Trilogy'.

This, like the previous book in the series, is a great read. Sherman has a gift for weaving historical information with fantasy and keeping it interesting. Her characters are well developed and easy to relate to. Her story is fast paced, engaging and fun. I hope a third book will follow.

I enjoyed this book and The Shattered Oath immensely. I hope there is going to be a third installment soon!
