4/5
Bastian is King and Lore is tied more closely to him than ever before, but the more they channel, the more strangely Bastian behaves.
The beginning was a little slow, since the characters were taking a long time to understand something I felt was clear from the first book, but I thought the second half did a good job of raising the stakes and finding the right amount of conflict and resolution for the 2nd book in a trilogy.
