Yellow30 Sci-Fi, FootNotes Reviewer, 09/16/2007
The Death Mark! Not a good tag for a thief, even one of the best. For Bartholomew Agreani it meant that the price on his head was worth more than a lot of booty other thieves could pilfer. So, Bart's life had a bleak future - death, unless he could buy back the mark. Fate would place him in a strategic spot to ensure he could do just that. Having befriended Riyan Borenson and Chad Kelon of the small village of Quillim the trio stumble upon the fabled King's Horde. Now with money in hand, Bart is able to buy back the death mark. Meanwhile his other companions, Riyan and Chad enlist in the Warriors Guild, while their other friend, Kevik, tries to improve his craft as a magic user. One does not come into a lot of money without word eventually leaking out and finding it's way to other sinister ears. For you see, the King's Horde is famous and a number of villainous folk have been searching for years to find it. Some will stop at nothing to get the riches buried with the fabled King. Riyan is no longer the timid shepherd boy from Quillim or Chad the clumsy miller's son. The Warriors Guild has molded them into strong, determined young men. While Kevik is learning, through trial and error, how to become a successful magic user, he too is growing in confidence and ability. All these new skills will be put to the test as Bart finds himself the focal point of the Hunter of the Horde, a ruthless villain who has ways to make men talk. Riyan and his friends must use every skill they've learned to rescue their friend from this deadly hunter. This second book in The Broken Key trilogy continues to weave a spellbinding story that carries our four fellow adventurers on their quest to find the final two segments of the Key that will unlock the fabled King's Horde. Intrigue, adventure, terror and excitement carry the reader page after page. For the fantasy addict this will add to your addiction. Read with care, but enjoy the trip, for this is an exciting one.
Kurzbeschreibung
Riyan, Chad, and Bart continue their quest with the aid of their newfound companion, Kevik. Recently bereft of his master, Kevik struggled on his own to learn his craft and to put the appellation of 'Apprentice' behind him. Though lacking in confidence, his ability to creatively utilize what few spells he has mastered has came in handy time and again.
What they had feared most has come to pass. Word that they may have found the King's Horde had begun to spread. Now, it has reached the ears of one who will stop at nothing to discover what they know.
The second installment of The Broken Key continues to follow the four friends in their search for the final two segments of the Key that will unlock the fabled King's Horde. Through the words of an aged tome hidden in a long forgotten room, and the recollections of a madman, they set out for where they believe another of the segments lies hidden.

Brian schafft es wiedermal die Handlung so kompakt zu beschreiben, dass man gar nicht auf den Gedanken kommt eine Seite nur zu überfliegen.
Obwohl die erste Hälfte des Buches "nur" von der Entwicklung der Hauptcharaktere handelt ist diese so interessant und flüssig beschrieben, dass man das Buch kaum noch aus der Hand legen will.
Einziger Kritikpunkt an der Story ist das alte "die Guten töten die Bösen nicht, wenn diese am Boden liegen" Prinzip, nach dem die Hauptcharaktere an einer Stelle handeln. Schön ist allerdings, das die Charaktere aus diesem "Fehler" lernen.

Very Enjoyable Read

Much like Pratt's first series (Morsyth Saga) these books are very entertaining. I mostly enjoy the fact that the author does not go into long drawn out descriptions of locations and surroundings like other writers. Instead he focuses more on the story and the characters instead of trying to impress the reader with BIG, HUGE, GIGANTIC adjectives. I will continue to purchase any books that he writes, hopefully alot.
Very Creative

There are many things about this series that I liked. Aside from the ease with which you can follow the characters and what's going on, I liked all the interesting aspects the author put into place.
Such as the Well of Thought where Kevik is tested to move from Apprentice to Practitioner. And Riyan and Chad's time at the Warriors Guild. Their training and testing. When I first realized the author planned to go into detail about thier training, I groaned. But once I actually reached that part, found it not to be boring or dreadful. He kept it going by only giving the more exciting aspects of it.
Another aspect I liked was Kevik's estate, the one he received when his master was killed in the first book. There are still a couple rooms with wards from his mater's time that he can't get through. Can't wait until he gets up in levels so we can see what's in there. Has to be something good!!
There is action, more than in the previous book. Like when they flee into a forest to escape Durik. That sequence has some of Pratt's most ingenious stratagems to date. Especially the 'demon'. I'll not further into it than that.
Creativity, action, and most of all, a good story. This is another enjoyable series by a good author. Read it!!
