Book two in Michael Scott's 'forgotten' trilogy loosely based on Celtic mythology.

The conception of this series is so far very solid. The mythology and plot are both interesting, but, while it has improved from the first book, the conclusions of the plots seem a little forced, almost like the author wasn't quite sure himself when he got that far along what to do. Otherwise I'm a fan so far.

Nice to see that the series I enjoyed many years ago does improve on book 1. This was a much more coherent tale, and built to a satisfying climax.
The characters remain a little underdeveloped, but the strong action scenes continue, and combined with two storylines that moved along nicely, it was an easy book to read.
The final chapters did get a little silly, but if you got that far, then there was little to complain about. I think that using death/Death as a means of transportation is still one of the strangest ideas I have yet encountered.
I have no memory of book 3 at all, so that should be interesting...
