• HORRIBLE, SKIP TO THE FORTH BOOK AND DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME
  What a waste of a weekend. I was so upset at the end of this book when NOTHING HAPPENED. All of a sudden I'm as the end of the book and I realize that the only knowledge gained by this book was the key to Galbotrix's power. This book drug on and on with battle after worthless, meaningless battle. There were some interesting parts to the battle scenes, but as a whole the book got no where in the series.

• Still moving along
  To tell you the truth, I'm no youngster. Actually, I am 70 and a great fan of fantasy. Nothing has ever matched LORD OF THE RINGS for me but there are many superb fantasies around.

  After reading the first 2 books I am very disapointed with this book. I am listening to it on audio and have skiped disks just so I can keep listening. my advise just ask someone who has already read the book what happens. way to much information that is not needed. if there is an abridged version I would buy that before you try to read the entire book.
