What do You think about Der Bund (2011)?
This book was just as, if not more so, addicting than the first one. The roller coaster of emotion between Mordecai and Penelope gets a bit much at times, but hey, young love. It's probably a fairly accurate portrayal of how two teenagers in love and under that kind of stress would be. There is plenty of action in this book, and sarcastic humor abounds. Read: warning to those readers that don't appreciate that sort of humor. One thing I like about this story is that the protagonists aren't always making the most ignorant decisions possible (from the readers viewpoint), as is sometimes the case. Every time a moment of decision arises, I find myself cringing inwardly, waiting for the hammer to fall, but it only occasionally does, and even then, their mistakes are often rectified.The biggest reason I like this story isn't anything specific though, it is just a good, entertaining fantasy read. With all the competition out there, sometimes it seems to me that authors are trying a little to hard to stand out from the crowd. There is nothing particularly unique about this story, but it remains eminently enjoyable none the less.

I liked this book, once i started i couldn't put it down.This was so much better than the first one.The world building feels like this could become an epic set of books maybe like Raymond Feist's books and span generations, the only thing i want is as much as i like the 2 main characters all the rest feel a little boring like the author has poured all the personality into the 2.I want more, i'm just about to start the third and i can't wait.

Not as good as the first one, but the action in this book made up for it.
