Great second book in trilogy,
By
This review is from: The Golden Orb: Icewall Trilogy, Volume Two (Mass Market Paperback)
Set eight years after the first book in the trilogy, this is an excellent fantasy novel and part of a terrific trilogy. It answers a lot of questions from the first book and develops the familiar characters even further. Readers do not need prior exposure to the Dragonlance world to enjoy this book. And don't stop here, the final book in the trilogy (Winterheim) is excellent as well!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Good story,

This review is from: The Golden Orb: Icewall Trilogy, Volume Two (Mass Market Paperback)
This is the continuation of Douglas Niles' Icewall Trilogy. The Arktos have found themselves a new home and new allies in the Highlander people. Kerrick Fallabrine is confronted with his past though he is miles away from his homeland. There are more battles between the Arktos and the Ogres resulting in fast paced action that kept me reading. I didn't want to put this book down! See also: The Messenger, and Winterheim.

This review is from: The Golden Orb: Icewall Trilogy, Volume Two (Mass Market Paperback)
I've always been a fan of stories involving elves, and the Icewall Trilogy has given me a new view of them. This book features the same characters as The Messenger, mainly Kerrick Fallabrine and Moreen Bayguard. I was hoping to see some romantic involvement between them, but no dice, though there were some hints. The book was centered around the ogres' plot to destroy Brackenrock completely with the golden orb, an explosive device created by the alchemist, whose origins are eventually revealed. Kerrick learns some interesting information about the fate of his parents, and Moreen has changed quite a bit since The Messenger. I liked this book a lot, but I wish I knew when the third one was going to be released.
