Rating:
Ashok Vadal must rescue the prophet Thera from the deadly House of Assassins, this time without the magic sword that made him nearly unstoppable. Strange forces are manipulating events from the shadows, and Ashok is beginning to wonder whether the gods he has denied might actually exist. A tighter, more action-packed sequel that deepens both the world-building and Ashok's character considerably.
House of Assassins was a shorter book than I expected, at only 380 or so pages, so I chewed through them pretty quickly. Having said that, this second book felt action packed and not overly verbose; something which I appreciate. I'd much rather enjoy a shorter book, than have to wade through epic story lines that paint every single facet of the story, and leave nothing to the reader's interpretation.
Correia managed to give us an insight into Ashok's background in this book, and as a result, really developed him as a character for me. There's a few story lines at play, and all of them are fascinating in the way that they converge toward the end.
This book ends with a huge revelation, and as a result, I'm really looking forward to the 3rd book in this series.
