The second book was better than the first. Less talk, more action. Although some things were annoying. "As Da used to say" every time the story returns to Liath...a boring storyline of a brother and sister who escaped from Gent....

The Crown of Stars series is well-thought out and obviously well-planned. It's epic in scope and it's got a lot of texture.

I finished Prince of Dogs in 1.5 days. I can now say that I am a Kate Elliott fan because, as most of you know, Prince of Dogs is the second book in the Crown of Stars series, and I loved it.
Prince Sanglant is once again the ... Read More

Typical of all series, I hesitate to start one because quite often they fail to deliver the pizaz of the first.
This one did not disappoint. The characters that mesmerized us in the first book were overshadowed with new characters leaving unresolved scenarios unresolved.
For the life of me I do not understand a female writer continuing to cast a female lead in such a subserviant role. For goodness sakes, everyone in touch with Liath is impressed with her as a stand-up for yourself person, yet ... Read More
