Alaris, the archmage that helped Eiry, Claren and their children in Book 1: Ending an Ending, is on his way to Pinnacle. Claren, following Alaris's command, is on his way to free Lady Kel. Eiry, also following Alaris's command, is on her way somewhere. All she knows is she is searching for her children and is supposed to meet up with Alaris sooner or later.
Naturally, many forces which include several Seren, servants of the Gods, seem to be everywhere. Some actually arrive on scene to help Claren's group and Eiry's group while others seem to be causing obstacles to the parties' quests. The questions are: Will Claren and Eiry finally get together with Alaris by the end of the book? Will Eiry find her children?
I love Ending an Ending. Full of fantasies, magic, and all the wee folk plus lots of surprises, Ending and Ending whetted my appetite for more. Well, more came in the guise of the Second Book of the Laurian Pentology called Beginning. What can I say more than 'the adventures continue'? Danny Birt included a few pieces of information about vampires that I haven't heard before and which may or may not have been created by him. Fancy knowing a vampire with enough self-control as not to drain your blood at the first opportunity! Danny Birt has satisfied my sense of adventure with this second book, but only for a short time. I can hardly wait for the upcoming Third Book Beginning an Ending. Check out his website to learn more about all the books of the Laurian Pentology.
