It doesn´t have hundreds of pages where nothing happens like The Paths of the Dead (The Viscount of Adrilankha, Book 1). The style remains similar, but plot happens! While the entire Viscount of Adrilankha Trilogy is basically one book (volume one ended at chapter 34 and volume two starts at chapter 35), I personally believe this volume is where the story actually gets good. After suffering through the first book, I really liked the second. It leaves off with a romantic cliffhanger, but given what has been already resolved, I don´t think Sethra Lavode (The Viscount of Adrilankha), the last volume, will be as good. (I´ll soon find out.) If you read the first book, you owe to yourself to read the second one. It´s got the characters from the first book, but they actually accomplish things... so much better!
. And summed up by saying Well Paced and Action Packed. Currently The Lord of Castle Black (The Viscount of Adrilankha, Book 2) has an overall rating of 8 over 10.

Tor Fantasy claimed With his bestselling novel The Phoenix Guards, Steven Brust took readers to a time a thousand years before the events of his popular Vlad Taltos novels. Its sequel, Five Hundred Years After, was hailed by Science Fiction Chronicle as the best fantasy novel of the year.Now Brust has returned to the Khaavren epic, first with last year´s The Paths of the Dead, and now with its direct continuation, The Lord of Castle Black...a novel that gives Vlad Taltos and Khaavren fans alike a new look at one of Brust´s most popular characters, the Dragonlord Morrolan.Along the way, we´ll also encounter swordplay, intrigues, quests, battles, romance, snappy dialogue, and the missing heir to the Imperial Throne. It´s an old-fashioned adventure, moving at a twenty-first-century pace.
