This was a fabulously fun summer read. I knew I would read it fast because I was still hanging on to the cliffhanger from book one. From the first page you get a balance of drama and character development, action, and humor. Tavin, our narrator, manages somehow to carry the thread of his old mortal life while his life is turned inside out by his transformation into a powerful Intangible Word.
His tormentors are chilling, and the destructive power of the Word of Death drives him to the brink of insanity, but the hope and even humor in the book bubbles out of those dark places in a way that makes it all the more sweet. My favorite thing about Strickland’s second novel in this series is that while Tavin may be clever and bold, and certainly proves capable as an underdog hero again and again, he also fails miserably at times and in ways that leave you hanging on the edge of your seat. I don’t mean that he *nearly* fails – he truly makes fatal mistakes and has to live with the consequences, turning down ever more astonishing tunnels on his way back to the light. It’s awesome. Well done.
