One thing of significance
is that in "The Last Keeper" here was excessive number of characters
serving as point-of-view narrators. However, "Vorodin's Lair" reduces
the overall number of narrators. Personally, I prefer to read the point of
view of all the characters playing in the book but the reduction in narrators
is also a good strategy because it helps focus the story by emphasizing the most
significant plotlines.
One notable development in
"Vorodin's Lair" is the increased presence of scenes featuring the
Followers of Erud, the Ancient/God-like being followed by Daemus. The chapters
set in the Cathedral of the Watchful Eye were amazing due to the escalating
tension as Greytorris' followers plotted his resurgence and sought control of
the Cathedral.
Contrary to the first book,
"Vorodin's Lair" surprisingly features fewer battles and physical
conflicts. With the exception of occasional moments, all the action is
concentrated towards the climax of the story. The novel finishes strongly when
Daemus' group finally encounters the individuals who had been pursuing them,
compelling the characters to defend themselves swiftly.
While "The Last
Keeper" introduced readers to the world of Warminster, "Vorodin's
Lair" primarily establishes events that will unfold in the forthcoming
third book. Consequently, numerous plot threads are left unresolved. Although I
would have appreciated more resolutions in this second installment, I
understand Hilliard's desire to keep possibilities open for future volumes.
Nonetheless, readers will still find plenty of enjoyable moments in
"Vorodin's Lair," which continues the engaging style of its
predecessor.
As a big fan of magical fantasy action adventure, I will say this book is amazing. I cannot wait for the third book to come out. I will recommend this book to all those who love a magical action adventure.
