After reading the first book in this series, Daughter of Light, I was really looking forward to the second. I wasn't disappointed even though the book did go in a direction that I was not expecting it to and because of that I kept putting off reading it. Writers have a direction in mind for their story and readers get a direction that they want the story to go in. The two don't always jive and that is what happened in this case. The story was still great and you learned even more about your favorite characters, Rowen, Lore, Nierne (how to pronounce her name, yay!) and Caleb. The only drawback for me in the book was that Caleb wasn't focused on as much as I thought that he would be, especially since the title was Son of Truth. I can't wait though for the third book to come out next year and to see how it all comes together in the end.
