The Gathering of the Lost

Helen Lowe's The Gathering of the Lost is even finer than the first book in this series, The Heir of Night. Where the first begins slowly, taking some time to build a most interesting and complex world and flesh out the major players, this book plunges ahead, barely pausing as events propel the characters ahead. Though the Kindle edition has several typos, it is for the most part very well edited.
Based upon what I have read in these two books, Ms. Lowe is clearly a writer on par with my favorites who write what I consider to be similar work, Robin Hobb and Lois McMaster. I can't wait until the release of Daughter of Blood, which I anticipate will bring closure to this worthy tale.
