Summary: A Great Book!
Review: I read all the reviews on this book, and saw alot saying it was horrible. I don't agree. I got it to read for a book report in English, and ended up reading it twice! *and this is a big step for me, because most books I read have no more than 250 pages in them*. I also hope to buy it, so I can read it as many more times as I can. I do want to read the first one as well. I do wonder about the back of the book, where it talks about Locke, but I don't worry much. I like the whole thing with Len as well. Len, Jhesti, and Fitz are 3 of my fave people, with Lord Disaster being my 4th fave. I reccomend anyone who likes long books to read this. No matter what others miht say, I think it's great!

Summary: Lacking sequel
Review: I read the first book and i found it to be really good so when i bought the sequel to it, i figured it would be as good as the first one. I can't say that it was truly horrible or anything of that sort, but i felt that it was lacking some flare. I did manage to finish reading it through and that cinderella like story is kinda interesting, but still, there is something missing which is apparent. Overall though, it was just eh, ok.

Summary: Disappointment
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series and anxiously bought this one expecting to like it just as much. The only reason I was able to sit down and get through it was because Stackpole is one of my favorite authors. I was quite surprised that he wrote this book. The first thing that told me that I would end up hating it was when a guy from our time was somehow swept into the Realm of Chaos time. Big mistake. I would like to see another book written in this setting, but nothing like this one.

Summary: Should've Stayed Dead!
Review: I thought the first book in the series provided us readers with an interesting world and excellent characters. While this book was set in the same place, I could not decide what the story was about. Was the story trying to be a silly version of Stephan Donaldson's not-hero, or was it suppose to be a Sprague de Campe-like light comedy about a dimension hopping hero that used a magical shoe scale? The wonderful world created in the first book was shredded apart by Mr. Stackpole's insistance on applying a friend's story to his own. It doesn't fit, it doesn't work, and it was painful to read.

Summary: THIS WAS A SEQUAL TO A HERO BORN?
Review: THIS BOOK IS A FAIRLY GOOD ONE. HOPEFULLY, YOU ARE NOT EXPECTING TO READ ABOUT THE SAME MAIN CHARACTER. THE MAIN ONE IN THIS ONE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FIRST BOOK. THE ONLY REALLY PITTIFUL PART IS THE VERY END. SO IF YOU LOOSE IT WITH JUST A FEW PAGES LEFT, DO NOT LOOK FOR IT.

Summary: It's not great but not that bad either..
Review: This book is definitely not as good as A Hero Born. It's entertaining, but the sense of flow and characterisation that made the first book so good are lacking in this sequel. But that can't totally be blamed on Michael Stackpole. The thing to remember here is that most of this story was written by William Wu and not M.Stackpole. The story concept and characters are Wu's. Stackpole only made modifications to the story so that it could get published, so technically it's not really a Stackpole original piece. But nonetheless, it's still worth a read.

Summary: This is slow getting off, but great once you get into it!
Review: This book starts off in the future and is quite confusing at first, but after 2-3 chapters everything starts to fall into place. There are some old faces, but there are also new heros and better and stronger enemies. If you like fantasy books and excitement, I would recommend this book.....but remember this is book 2....book 1 is " A Hero Born."
