A solid result, but without the epic spirit of brotherhood and spirit of the first volume

In this second volume, we find our favorite character of the first volume (well, those still alive). But many things have changed. While the story remains in continuity, although the psychology of the characters does not change drastically, even if I was thrilled to finally attend the meeting between Reva and Vaelin Al Sorna, I was less enthralled by history.

This remains rigorously well written, very rhythmic, but two points have marred my reading:
- The story is cut to follow the adventures of multiple characters. However, some (or what happened to them) did not interest me very moderately. So I read a lot of chapters on Lyrna Princess diagonally. To put it honestly, only chapters of Reva and Vaelin completely interested me, and to a lesser extent for those bewitched Brother.
- Some scenes stretch interminably, from my point of view. The seat at the end of the book probably occupies a fifth of volume. It's very descriptive and it hardly interested me.

I think my part disinterest comes here we leave the apprenticeship novel (genre which I love), mainly centered on a character (which I prefer) for a classic fantasy novel of heroic. I read from time to time, but when the hero matures, I am less interested on. Finally, there are far fewer surprises in this second volume (the operation orders in Volume 1 was very interesting). In short, a strong novel, but in my opinion lacking a bit of flavor.
