The Paladin of The Night (Rose of The Prophet #2) by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman

Estimated read time 1 min read

A delightful read, peppered with as many bouts of thrill as moments of witty humor.

The authors have both done a wonderful job writing this series. In book two, the somewhat creative floundering of POVs from book one is narrowed down. There are still several characters, new ones too. But everything is divided into three plot threads: two major and one minor. It’s much less volatile than the first book, but it more than makes up for this with excellent character development. The authors take their time to involve everyone in the story, and the weaving of events is expertly done, providing readers with a lot of suspense and thrill, even without overwhelming violence.

Another author would litter the entire text with fight scenes and vivid sex scenes. So far, the authors have managed to go down that cliched path, instead preferring to build the story context within the confines of already-interesting characters.

It’s all beautifully done. I proceed to the final book.
