Bringer of Storms November 16, 2008
This is an incredible portrayal of of a people who not only refused to sucumb to evil but took a stand against it...and against all odds. The second book in the "Binding of the Blade," series picks the reader up from the ashes of untimely death and betrayal and catapults them into a journey that can only end in disaster...or is there hope? It forces the imagination to new heights while challenging our own society's definition of manhood and womanhood. The lessons implied are for us today. If only our youth were able to grasp the concepts inspired by L.B. Graham.

I enjoyed this sequel to Beyond the Summerland. I think that the idea for a giant who controls the weather is pretty cool.
Great Christian Fantasy August 15, 2008
Although this book opens seventeen years after Beyond the Summerland, the author manages to naturally weave in an outline of the interlude. For seven years Aljeron has led the men of Shalin Bel against the city of Fel Edorath in hopes of bringing Rulalin to justice. But unforeseen events reverse the tables. Malek, about to launch his third and final attack on Kirthanin, offers Rulalin a position in his army. Will Rulalin abandon his beliefs and accept?
Meanwhile, Valzaan rides to Ammon Sul with shocking news. How will Wylla react when she learns her son, like his father, has been appointed a prophet? Can she let him go into the face of danger with no certainty of surviving?
The conclusion follows its predecessor in hitting readers with an unforeseen ending. I was shocked, yet couldn't resist opening the next one. These books have a way of gripping you even as you can't stand some of the plot twists. In a way, that's part of their power.
Can't put it down, great summer read! June 9, 2007

My family hates when I read a book like this--no meals are made...the clutter builds up--so I did a marathon read of this second book in the series and truly enjoyed the characters and the story. There are strong action sequences plus real depth of character development. This book will appeal to both male and female readers who enjoy fantasy, including those who love Tolkien.
Not all fantasy novels are foul language free. This one is. The love relationships spare us graphic details, too. There is violence (it is about a war, after all) with some details, but not to the point of gratuitous violence.
The best thing is that there is richness, depth, to the story. You not only care about the characters and the outcome of the story, but the book goes deeper than that--to the heart. I can't wait until my next weekend OFF, so that I can read the next book in the series
The continuation of a great Fantasy series! May 11, 2006

This novel continues the story began in Beyond the Summerland and takes the threat to Kirthanin to the next level! The ramifications of a certain stunning event at the end of the first book is the driving force behind the lives of the characters some eighteen years in the future. City rises against city in the search for justice, while many others are affected by the long struggle. The truly dangerous enemies use this to their advantage and then a massive threat breaks loose-- causing an even more critical confrontation. The Bringer of Storms and the armies of the enemy arise! This book also ends with a shock and I am sure the ramifications of what happened will be felt throughout book three. This story should flow into the next book without too much of a time gap, as the conflict that was pressing, was not fully resolved.
The only slight mar to the book is the same as I mentioned about the first one, which is that some of the dialogue seems too modern at times. Mom and dad, instead of mother and father, and similar things that just didn't feel "medieval" enough. This is a very minor concern, though, and is very subjective. I am definitely looking forward to book three in this great series! Buy the first two-- you won't be sorry!
