Summary: Well, Drake has certainly done it again
Comment: David Drake, one of the best SF/fantasy Military writers that I've ever read (especially the General series), has now shown to me that he can equally write good hard core fantasy. There are of course the few glitches in it, like the fact that he constantly flip-flopping around, but it's still very good. Another good thing about this story is that, unlike Robert Jordan, this story is actually understandable. I highly recommend this book.
Rating: 3
Summary: Cut ~150 pages and this book becomes a more exciting read.
Comment: After an excellent beginning in Lord of the Isles, the second book of this series just rambled for a good 150 pages.
Most of the main characters are simply transported from plane to plane to do nothing. Even more annoying are when they finally land in an interesting place to be zapped out several pages later. We get no information other than the characters arrived, were pursued, and escaped.
Drake should either spend more time explaining the history and conflicts of these various planes or not write them altogether. As it stands this book could be trimmed by a third and not affect the story one bit.
I'll be sure to read the online reviews before buying the third book of the series.
Rating: 5
Summary: Excellent Book
Comment: "Queen of Demons" is a very good sequel to the original. The plot has many twists and the characters are interesting and colorful. This book does bear a slight resemblence to the original in that the heros are trying to take down a powerful wizard, but there are very few similarities beyond that. Garric develops to become much more than an inkeepers sun and begins to restruchture the government. Cashel is sent on a series of adventures in different dimensions (Drake seems to like to send Cashel to different dimensions, as he does in the next two books). A whole host of different characters are intoduced, each very well developed. An all around great book.
