Summary: excellent sequel
Review: This book is the sequel to "Beyond World's End" and continues the story of Eric Banyon in New York with Aerune mac Audelaine returning as the villain. Most of the other characters are back also plus there are appearances by a few characters from previous books and from the SERRAted Edge series. There's one new major character in the role of Eric's first apprentice Bard. Despite the large number of characters, Ms. Lackey does an excellent job of weaving all of them into the story. The major sub-plot is well-integrated also and is highly entertaining, especially the visit to the Las Vegas elves. All in all this book is a pleasant read although I strongly recommend reading "Beyond World's End" first because this story is so closely tied to events in that book.

Summary: Much better than the last one
Review: This book was much better than Beyond World's End. The story line made sense, as compared to random people jumping in and out of the last story. This story line did have a lot of different threads running through it, and it was sometimes hard to remember what had happened to those people earlier, although that problem got better toward the end. I do recommend that you read Beyond World's End first, even though it isn't as good. You won't understand some of the things in this book if you haven't the other. If you've read the Diana Tregarde and the SERRAted Edge books, they'll help you, but they aren't totally neccessary.

Summary: OK book
Review: This is an ok book. Compared to the other books in this series it lacks almost everything. There is no heart, no deep introspection, no character development. As a stand alone novel this is confusing. Eric's first weekend has two Sundays. He has to coax Lady Day into becoming a car and then doesn't need her to be a car. There were a lot of missed catches in this book.

Summary: Decent Sequel
Review: While I enjoyed Spirits White as Lightning, i think that the authors can definately do better. the characterization is flat and uninteresting, each character has a trait that is basically all that is mentioned about them.Interesting to see Tannim and Chinthliss (from the SERRAted Edge series) in this book, but the caracters are again flat and one sided. Each chapter is told from a different point of view but there are about 3 different stories going on at the same time. while this could have worked the stories have only a tenuous relationship to each other.Basically while this book is fine for a light read it has no depth of character whatsoever and a plot that jumps around with every scene being somewhere else. I wouldn't buy this book (defineatly not in hardcover)but would get it from my library.
