Among the awesome things they say about the book:

"Waiting for a Jennifer Fallon book to come out is like being a kid told by Mom that she’s making this scrumptious chocolate cake in the morning, but you can't have a slice until you both spend all day at school and get your homework done when you get home. In other words, it can be excruciating. I'm thankful that the slice of cake has always been worth the wait, and that's certainly true of Fallon's second book in the "Tide Lords" series, The Gods of Amyrantha.This has to be her best book since Warrior..."

"The Gods of Amyrantha is almost impossible to put down. Fallon's prose, characterization and plotting carry you along on the tide of events. Almost every chapter ends on a note that makes you want to read further. "

"Once again, not a character is wasted; most are three-dimensional, with only the occasional thin ones who really don't need any depth anyway as they are merely passing characters. This holds true all the way from Cayal and Hawkes down to the lowly slave of the Torlenian concubine, who has opinions of her own on the difference between slavery in Glaeba and Torlenia. Fallon uses her characters economically, serving the plot but also for some more world-building."

And this:

"Despite the complexities of its plot, the pacing of the novel seems almost sedate. The pages fly by without your even realizing it, but events in the novel seem to take their own time even as you're being blindsided by them.

This book certainly doesn't suffer from "second-novel" syndrome, in which many second novels in a series almost seem like placeholders. That's not Fallon's style, though. The Gods of Amyrantha could turn out to be the best book in the series. Unless she manages to top herself."

Thanks so much CUWAGB. You rock!

I have just one teensy-weensy little... ahem.. question about the last line...

I wonder if the reviewer is aware that "to top herself" is Aussie slang for committing suicide?  tee hee
