In this second half of the Oathbreaker story, Aron, the apprentice to the assassin's guild, his master, Stormbreaker, his teacher Dari, and his mysterious acquaintence, Nic, join their formidable talents of mind and body as they battle the leaders who want to destroy their land. Whether Nic can take his rightful place as the king of Eyrie, whether anyone can win Dari's heart, and whether Aron can control his own strengths for the good of all are just some of the mysteries that will be solved as this story comes to its violent and thrilling conclusion.

      Gr 7-9-Picking up where "Assassin's Apprentice" (Bloomsbury, 2009) left off, this story finds Aron wandering through the Deadfall of Eyrie with another apprentice as punishment for a fight. After the two teens barely escape with their lives, Aron faces more tests and struggles as he tries to come to terms with his Graal, or magical ability. After he finds Nic, Eyrie's lost heir to the throne, it is up to him and Dari, a shapeshifter, to confront their destinies and figure out how to save Eyrie from sinking into unending war. While ripe with promise, the book becomes too bogged down in world-building and description. There is much lag time between battles, and all of the complicated relationships begin to take their toll on the story's pacing, making it difficult to follow exactly what is going on. The love triangle between Aron, Dari, and Stormbreaker, Aron's master, is highly melodramatic, and Dari's switch from her relationships with the two men to loving Nic seems rushed and stilted. While there are moments of stirring beauty and fierce, magnificent battles, this story and its characters fail to engage readers fully. They will be completely lost if they haven't read "Assassin's Apprentice". Give this to fans of that book."Necia Blundy, Marlborough Public Library, MA"
