Narration Conducive To Books The White Dragon (Chronicles of Sirkara #2)
By the author of "In Legend Born"It is a time of vast changes in the island nation of Sileria. Oppressed for centuries by one conqueror after another, this land of fierce pride and ancient rivalries awaited the prophesied Firebringer, who would free them. Josarian, a mountain peasant, survived his leap into the volcano to become the Firebringer. He united the impoverished shallaheen, the magical fire-wielding Guardians, and the vastly powerful mages known as Waterlords in an unprecedented alliance that defeated the foreign Valdani who had ruled Sileria for too long. But now Josarian is dead, betrayed by the alliance and slain by the ice-dragon of Kiloran, the most powerful Waterlord in Sileria. Tansen, Josarian's second-in-command, has taken up the banner of independence, and leads the shallaheen and the Guardians against the Waterlords so that Sileria can be free of a tyranny far worse than Valdani rule. As the volcano goddess Dar rumbles her displeasure in earthquakes and lava flows, the forces of fate, prophecy, and magic combine to create new heroes--from the desolate mountains, from the water-starved cities, from the sea, and even from beneath the earth. Ancient forces join with unlikely allies to fulfill the prophecies that inspire revolt and excite religious fervor. But in Sileria, betrayal has long been a way of life, and it wears many faces as the ambitions of the high and the low ensnare the fates of people across the land, wreaking havoc among the faithful.
With consummate narrative skill, Laura Resnick brings to life the excitement and adventure of this magical land in its epic struggle to find its true leaders, heal ancient wounds, and chart a path out of chaos to a new day of peace.

I remember waiting for this book forever after loving In Legend Born. On a re-read of the entire trilogy 10 years later, this middle book is a lot weak, and Im changing the rating from 4 to 3. So much tension goes out of the plot once the main character who was driving the story in book 1 and his mission are taken out of the game. And new prophesies seem like a retread. I had struggle to finish. Now, book 3 gets interesting again with new twists and developments, and finishes very interesting.I keep waiting for the plot to start, the climax to begin...it never really did. New issues have risen along with the old and at the end, nothing was resolved. Frankly, this could have been split into half and the next book could have been shoved in. The same issue with the last book- incessant droooning, some scene are dragging, and some characters whose POV's really I care nothing about. Like Ronall- if he doesn't have anything good or new to add the author should have cut him off instead of

The first quarter of the book contained few new info and more a summary of facts from the first volume, which, if you read the series together, is kind of annoying, but I can see how it benefits readers with a long pause between books.The story itself is interesting, but still it doesn't justify the length of the novel. Also, it tends to be a little too explanatory for my taste.
I just love the characters and the setting. I'm a sucker for intricate plots that make you pay attention, but then make it worth your while if you do.
Good sequel. Some characters develop while others feel stagnant.
It was good but a bit repetitive if you just finished the first book in the series. I think it was made so you didn't have to read the first book and could start with this one which added a lot of pages without too much plot development.
