Into the Labyrinth

Except for the fact I had completely forgotten the characters from book two until I read through their scenes a couple times, this book leaves one satisfied. It has quite a bit of action and character growth. My gripe is about the same as everyone else: the cover. Since when does Halpo wear a cape?

The loose ends and story bits that started coming together in book 5 (The Hand of Chaos) of this 7-book Death Cycle are all now coming to fruition. The story now dives headlong into the whole conflict between two very disparate groups of spellcasters. The whole ride is very suspenseful with interesting new characters as well as surprising plot twists.
