Description

Queen of Demons continues the grand saga begun in Lord of the Isles, following the travels and adventures of Garric, Sharina, Cashel, and Tenoctris across the world of the Isles toward their confrontation with contending forces of evil, as the cosmic forces of magic are reaching a millennial peak. Queen of Demons reveals some of the dark powers of the evil queen of the Isles, and includes enough powerful magical conflict to satisfy even the most jaded fantasy listener.

This wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as the first one in the series. To me, it had one irritating feature, the characters constantly wishing for things the way they were 'back on the Island'. I couldn't tell if that was a subtle shot at other fantasy authors (Jordan?) or just beating the same

theme to death over and over. Other than that, this wasn't bad. Fairly standard fantasy, the good guys take over a kingdom, then find out that the evil isn't gone, just replaced by something worse.

A very good series, and a reall page-turner.

Queen of Demons the second installment in the Lord of the Isles series continues on with the same troupe of likable characters; and, much like the first book, has a few characters that play vital roles for this book only then disappear. However, the plot in this book is even weaker than in the

first and major events slide by a bit too easilly. Overall, I found this book less enjoyable than the first. However, I have already bought the next couple books in the series so I will continue to read. At least I still like the principal characters or else I would probably just sell the books on eBay without another thought.
