Kingdoms of the Night

I am a bit surprised at the negative ratings this book has recieved. Yes, it has less "t and a" than the first, but it explores some interesting new planes. The descriptions some of the magical goings-on where transcendant, facinating. There was a greater sense of history here, both with the charecters and the destination itself. They change a bit of their already popular style to incorperate playing with the rules of space and time, and its finale was amazing. No, not quite as good overall as The Far Kingdoms, but i would say at least equal to the excellent Rali books.
