4.0 out of 5 stars Much better then the first!!!, April 9, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Magelord trilogy book 2: the time of madness (Paperback)

In the first book the title character was a little dry. However Ian is ten times better the Bjorn! I also enjoyed the way Thomas K. Martin portrays magic as the "Power" something which one is born with rather then learns. I would really give this 4.5 stars since the only thing I didn't like was the fact that it ended with a cliffhanger. But that only deserves a .5 loss. I recommend this book to all lovers of fantasy and magic.

5.0 out of 5 stars A surpurb followup for The Awakening, April 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Magelord trilogy book 2: the time of madness (Paperback)

An excellent followup for MageLord: The Awakening. A changing of main characters for this book does nothing to hamper the vivid storytelling and intriguing plot of this sequal. This story focus' more on the aftermath of the battle that ended with the first book and how it affects magi in general. This book goes to show that mages are not mankinds worst enemy. Another book I couldn't put down. Definately recommended reading.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Time of Madness is a great book., August 23, 1998

This review is from: Magelord trilogy book 2: the time of madness (Paperback)

This book follows up the original, but follows a completly different charcter. (Which I liked more than Bjorn or Gavin from the first book). I liked the entire book except for the fact that it ended on a cliffhanger that is to be finished up in the third book of the set. I would not suggest reading this one until T. K. Martin publishes the third book in the series. Over all this book has an original style that is only seen in the first book of the trigiloy. I wuold suggest this book to any one that liked the forst one.
