The Desert Spear by Peter V. Brett
The Desert Spear is Peter Brett’s very worthy follow-up to his excellent first novel, The Warded Man. The Desert Spear may not be quite as consistently good as The Warded Man, but it remains a strong book in its own right, more than avoiding the pitfalls of that dreaded second novel curse… The Desert Spear was one of my more anticipated reads this year and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Two books in and this remains one of my favorite series going, leaving me looking as forward to book three as I was to The Desert Spear. Highly recommended… Read the rest.

I keep trying to get to Warded Man. I have it here on my shelf and went to read it and something else came up first. I am really looking forward to Warded Man so I can give this on a try. Thank you!
Haha Melissa, I actually just finished the Warded Man two days ago, and now I’m debating if I should should spend $25 dollars on The Desert Spear. I put if off like you, and I’m pretty upset I did. I actually waited until it came out in mass market paperback. So Bill, should I spend the money?
