I read this book a long time ago, and thought it was okay, althought the first, blade of the posioner was better.

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew if there was a third book in the series? I still have a lot of questions...

When I first read this, I got the feel of increasing energy as the book moved along, building up to a feverish pitch at the end where all hell breaks loose. The result was me hammering my fists to the floor in exhultation!

...reponding to the comment about Latin puns: I had no idea! However this does not annoy me. It actually increases my repect of Hill. I did not expect any type of hidden meaning in a book intended for young adults. Bravo!

I first read this book when I was around 13. It stayed with me, the perfect adventure-fantasy for a young boy.

I finally bought it after 10 years, and while the flaws show up now (but then, it was not meant to be a literary classic), it still has the capacity to entertain and enthrall, with sympathetic lead characters you root for, plenty of thrills, and vivid detailing.

When I searched for this item, I found it. But, after purchasing it, the seller came back that the item didn't exist. I am happy with the quick response and refund. But, the item itself is unaccounted for and therefore not a good review.

One thing I didn't like: EVERY OTHER CHARACTER'S NAME WAS AN ATROCIOUS PUN IN LATIN!!! I mean, minor deities with names translating to "rainbow," villains with names translating to "darkness," "destruction," or "stinker..."(no, wait, the villain whose name meant "stinker" was in the first book. My mistake.)
