A review by lasairfiona
The Charnel Prince by Greg Keyes

4.0

The organization of this book is different from the first book. More of the main characters interact so the chapters aren't organized by character anymore. Keyes seems to be really getting into his writting groove. This isn't high literature but it is a fun read. The story seems to stumble a bit as we try and figure out who is good and who is evil. This changing of opinions should be written with a bit more umph but the main characters coming together gives the book the cohesion it needs. I am really enjoying how the story winds together. I expect the main characters will split up very soon in the third book but that is how it needs to be.

Other than the story trying to find it's own, I think the priest's character development (ie power) is done with a bit of a heavy hand but I will take it since it was so well written in the first book. So much action. I love it.

Great second book. I am looking forward to the third (hurry up and ship amazon!).
