This sequel, the second book in the series, wraps up some loose ends and develops some others from Bedlam's Bard. Eric is blessed with his building's gargoyle who can be a friendly visitor or comrade in arms, he meets the guardians of New York City and is a shining star at his new school. His adventures, new friends and enemies, and how he develops his magic make this book a page-turner. The next book is waiting in my night stand right now.
This is NOT a book for cat lovers, and if you are and are reading this book, don't read the last story in the book; it falls into the category of sick. There are a few good stories in here, some that are strange but still enjoyable, and a whole lot that are neither of, for or about cats. The authors are all supposed to be masters of mystery, but they fall short of mastery of either mysteries or cat tales.

The further adventures of a sentient planet, and how it affects twins born with the ability to change into seals. Ronan and Murel are forced to grow up quickly to save new found friends and family, using their unique talents. Fortunately, they have some pretty awesome adults to lend a hand. Great adventure story.
A great collaboration between Anne and Todd McCaffrey, this book is two stories in one, a double treat. First we learn about Pellar and his life's story as one of the shunned. The second story continues to develop around mining and miners. A trip back into history helps solve problems for all of Pern, including its people. It's easy to lose track of time when you start reading these exciting tales from one of my favorite worlds.
