5.0 out of 5 stars
Another fantastic read!,

This review is from: Seeds of Betrayal: Book 2 of the Winds of the Forelands Tetralogy (Hardcover)
Once again, Coe has crafted a wonderful, totally engrossing book, which seamlessly follows the first in its series. I was absolutely chomping at the bit to read this book, and I stayed up late several nights because I was so anxious to see what happened next! I had very high expectations, but I was not disappointed. Coe continues his thorough character development and keeps making his readers bite their nails in suspense. The book has plenty of action to keep the story moving, but not so much that you feel that the action dominates the story. It is also refreshing to see that there are still authors who take as much care in describing the characters' world as well as they describe the main players. If you did not read the first book, it doesn't matter, as Seeds stands alone. The one negative thing I could say is that I finished reading it so soon that I will have to wait a whole year for the third installment of the story. Go on, dive in...before you know it, you will be mesmerized, the book will be over, and you will be begging for more.

unbelievable except for the ending,

This review is from: Seeds of Betrayal (Winds of the Forelands, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
Seeds of Betrayal follows David B. Coe's Rules of Ascension, Book One of the Winds of the Forelands. This book contained all of the plot developments that the first had, added on some more from a different part of the Forelands, and lived up to its title's hype.
Tavis and Grinsa are now searching in Aneira for Brienne's killer and are figuring out more and more that there is a much larger threat to the Forelands than just Cadel, Brienne's assassin. The Eandi nobles in Aneira and Eibithar are finally realizing that the Conspiracy is not some hoax but reality, because of the many connections between the high profile murders occuring throughout the two realms. At the same time two Quirsi women in Aneira and one in Eibithar are ready and willing to oppose the so called Conspiracy, although they are not the only ones. Enemies must become friends, and friends must become enemies, for the Forelands to stay in peace. David B. Coe did an excellent job again, but the ending seems to be a prologue for his next novel. His first in this series easily stood alone and hinted towards the next installment, but this one doesn't seem to end. It just stops. I am still anticipating the rest to come in the series and throroughly enjoyed this one even with the ending.

Top of my list,

This review is from: Seeds of Betrayal (Winds of the Forelands, Book 2) (Mass Market Paperback)
Rules of Ascension set the stage with great worldbuilding, unforeseeable plot twists, and characters I came to care deeply for, but I had no idea how much more the author had up his sleeve. This book delivered everything I expected after reading the first, and also went far beyond it. I read a lot of fantasy, and this series is now right at the top of the list I recommend to friends. You know from the very start that you're in the hands of a master storyteller--and an insightful historian with a keen emotional intuition and a flair for the magical and exotic. I'm dying to find out what happens next, and I also feel that I got a totally satisfying read in one volume. Dive right in here, or start with Rules--either way, you'll be completely hooked.
