Mortification Scale: 1 Tomato Face
- 1 TF for being a SciFi/Fantasy novel
- Really cool cover art
- Excellent book
- Interesting good vs. evil philosophical argument
This book takes up where Children of Chaos left off, with the 4 children of Celebre's doge having been reunited. Together, they defeat their enemies and then 3 of them make their way over the edge of the world. I didn't catch this at the time, but according to the author's postscript, this world is a dodecahedron and thus the edges are quite edgelike. They make their way onto the face of the world from whence they came and then home to the palace in Celebre.
The book is fast paced and witty. This is not quite as satisfying a read as Children of Chaos was, but it does wrap up the major plot lines, with a few tidbits left hanging to chew on. I'd recommend reading both books in one sitting, as it really seems to be one book separated for publishing purposes.
