If the first book left me skeptical, it confirms the promise of a world increasingly searched, rich and top events. At least once more after at least 200 pages to read very painful.
Indeed, the endless descriptions and to excessive repetitions are always present. However, they are a hair better integrated to the story, not cutting outrageously our reading as was often the case previously. But this defect is still there (between two shares).
Because of what awaits them or happens some players earn in depth, but in general immaturity of the [description] of their relationship remains as shocking: foo and blushed, and blushed Machine Machine; suddenly it's thing blushed, making it even more ashamed to know that blushes ...

The characters really gaining in power and we feel that the fabric is woven, presaging many things.
Moreover, we learn a lot more about the Wheel, the different abilities of each other, on mythology and many other things. It also passes very quickly from theory to practice, which only enhance the narrative. Compared to the first volume, there are only good that is no indication that the best.
If this second volume keeps introductory paces, it does not fit within the heart of the matter thereafter. I dare say the same, he acquired on its second half of addictive elements that make you want to know about the upcoming events.
If you have moderately enjoyed the first part, I think you will begin to build you a notice from this volume. At the stage where I am, I wonder especially if I will have the courage to wait for future editions. So for the moment, given bet: I still want to continue my reading, even if it is still "fragile" because of defects mentioned above.
