The second part begins right where the first one ended, there is nothing in between. What happened in the first part is only mentioned in passing, just enough for the reader to understand the plot. It continues as magically as in the first part, with wise words included.
I liked that you get a bigger picture of the land, all the different regions ruled by their leaders. And one emperor who wants to rule them all.
Although this part has many fiery elements, due to the love and relationships involved, it has a bit of a sad aftertaste for my liking. Especially the end did not conclude as expected, not very satisfying.
All in all a worthy read, an enjoyable journey into fantasy.
