K.J. Parker's Shadow began a ground-breaking new series that takes fantasy into remarkable new territory. Now, with Pattern, the extraordinary story of Poldarn takes a new shape. In a world he does not know, Poldarn's future is uncertain. Pursued by invisible enemies and haunted by the demons of his past, nobody can be trusted—not even himself, it seems. Attempting to piece together his own life from whatever scattered fragments he can find and dreams that hide as much as they reveal has brought him nothing but trouble. Now all he craves is peace. But will he find it on the island he believes to be his childhood home? Or will this place hold more terrors for him to confront?

'...indescribably addictive. I can heartily recommend both Shadow and Pattern to fantasy connoisseurs who prefer a little more bite from their fiction .Do try this most excellent of sagas. I really don't think you'll be disappointed.' THE ALIEN ONLINE

3.0 out of 5 stars
Not up to par,
This review is from: Pattern (Scavenger Trilogy) (Paperback)
Having already read book one of this triology I had some high expectations. Book one was good, and kept me guessing. Book two was a little bit of a let down. In my opinion part of the book goes into too much detail. Parker got a little too wordy for me with the explanations of the Forge and what it takes to make different items. Thats why I gave it a three star. Overall I enjoyed Poldarn and his misadventures and how everything just seemed to go wrong with anything he did. Book two did leave me hanging, but thats ok because its the middle of a series and what do you expect. If you read book one and liked it, book two won't be that bad for you. Parker still keeps you guessing about the origins of Poldarn. The reader is shown more about the life of Poldarn but his true origins remain hazy. I am looking forward to reading book three.
