The story picks up where The Grim Company left off. Where the first book really focused on the main group's journey with some side chapters in the north, this now splits into each of those main characters' solo journeys. We move between Brodar Kayne (and The Wolf), Sasha, Eremul the half-mage, Cole, Yllandris and the thoroughly detestable (but brilliant) Sir Meredith. All of their stories tell of different events, and few of the them cross over, meaning this book really is rather epic.
A number of threads from the first book are either progressed, explained further or closed off, and a number of new mysteries, invading forces and battles are introduced.
For the second book of a trilogy you would expect little extra additions, progressing those introduced in the first book and seguing into the final instalment. Not so here, as a number of new, critical elements are introduced, some very late in the book, which are leading to a fairly epic third book to close off.
Absolutely awesome.

The Blood of Four Gods and Other Stories by Jamie Lackey
The Blood of Four Gods and Other Stories is a collection of short stories by Jamie Lackey, with a strong Asian/Native American theme. None of the stories are guaranteed a HAE, and in fact, I would say at least half have their own particular ending. These stories are all very vivid when you read them, which is excellent - Jamie Lackey's descriptive voice is in full flow. However, some of them are not so 'nice' to read, and so the descriptions can make you swallow slightly as you read them. Some only seem like snippets, and I would love to know more about the characters and the worlds in which they live.
With no editing or grammatical errors to disrupt my reading flow, I thoroughly enjoyed each of these stories. With smooth pacing, well rounded characters, and with individual stories for each and every one, this is a wonderful collection of stories, sure to delight. Absolutely recommended by me.
