The first book of the series was very good. Good stories, interesting characters. The second book is more of the same. But. The problem with book two is that Brandon starts to ramp things up to epic size. Events begin to happen on an epic scale, and characters begin to exhibit godlike abilities. Characters always lose their humanity when they become gods. All of a sudden, one man fighting against overwhelming odds becomes a god doing impossible things on a scale that affects all of humanity. I prefer the man to the god in the same way I prefer the first book to the second.
