To start with, I didn't read the first book in the series, this is the first I have heard of it, I read this book in two days.
It starts out with with a list and description of the Principal Cast and Principal Locations. It is a great way to help with understanding the book before reading it.
The characters were well described that you can almost picture them in your mind. They 7 lords must find a way to work the powers to each others to work together to defeat the Spider King. There were some nice twists to the book that will keep you reading once you have begun.
I find this book very well written. This book has certain aspects that kind of remind me of a series of books called Everworld. The ending was neat and the very end could mean there will be another book coming to this series. I am thinking of trying to find the first book to read to find out the rest of the information that this second book hinted at.
Disclosure of Material Connection: I received this book free from Thomas Nelson publishers as part of their book review bloggers program. All opinions expressed are my own, and I was not required to write a positive review.
