The Malice

Following Peter Newman's brilliant debut, THE VAGRANT. This is the much-anticipated sequel, THE MALICE. In the south, the Breach stirs. Gamma's sword, the Malice, wakes, calling to be taken to battle once more. But the Vagrant has found a home now, made a life and so he turns his back, ignoring its call. The sword cries out, frustrated, until another answers. Her name is Vesper.Overall, I found this one an excellent read and a strong continuation to The Vagrant. There's more of the same about this new book that was in The Vagrant; the world, the events, and the history are are filled out more in the sequel book. The writing, like the first book, is also strong, as are the characters.Highly recommended -- one of my favorites this year, and a must read if you picked up and liked the first book.
