The Fall of Man Book 2
At the end of Book 1, the Heroes ate left with more questions than answers and must travel elsewhere to solve the mystery. Lulled by the idea of a quick journey to their next destination, the Heroes are attacked.
Book 2 begins the adventure with an action sequence that can take place on land or sea. Leaving the Heroes with some answers and a bit of foreshadowing.
The Fall of Man, Book 2 is set up in three parts including raiders, dancing, a masquerade, intrigue, puzzles, a kidnaping and murder. Like Book 1, this is more of a cerebral adventure, there is a battle and a chase scene, but the adventure centers around mystery and diplomacy.
In the end, the Heroes now have more answers, and a much bigger and daunting task ahead.
Once again, the author adds good suggestions on how things could play out, inclusion of the Secret Societies and a well-known 7th Sea prince. Tobie’s use of artwork, artifacts, cyphers and clues just adds more emersion to the story, In fact I had to ask my wife to help me find the hidden image in one of the pieces of art, but don’t worry, once you see it it’s quite obvious and you can’t unsee it.
Another good read, and a lot of fun.
