Trail of the Dead by Joseph Bruchac

4.0

I enjoyed book two of Bruchac’s Killer of Enemies trilogy considerably more than the first. Bruchac wisely toned down the “quirks” in Lozen’s constant inner monologue and gave her a truly formidable foe. Luther Little Wound is atrocious and hearing his inner monologue and the description of his many kills is not for the faint of heart. There were more people to care about this time around too. I loved the reveal of what the Dreamer holds most dear. I’m very curious to find out Hally’s real story and why he keeps popping up seemingly at random to help Lozen and her allies. Readers who continue this series will be rewarded by book two.

Though I must add that Bruchac’s publisher really does need to add a few more passes to the editing process as there are numerous minor errors in this and all other books I’ve read by the author.
