    About this ebook

    It has been 16 years since the Day of Reckoning, when magic and witchcraft were outlawed throughout all of Eileanan. And though rumors say that she is dead, the Arch-Sorceress Meghan of the Beasts still lives. Traveling with her are the true heir to the throne and the red-haired warrior Iseult. Their fates are woven together in a quest to bring magic back to the land.
     
    As Eileanan nears its darkest hour, Meghan must gather rebel forces to move upon the city of Lucescere. There, the Rìgh lies near death, and his Queen, Maya the Ensorcellor, and her babe stand to inherit his power. To end Maya’s brutal reign and bring magic out of the shadows, what was broken must be brought together: twin sisters who have never met, three parts of an enchanted key, and the winged man with the powers of the lost Lodestar.

      This is the second book in the Witches of Eileanan series. I read the first couple hundred pages of this book and then stopped. I just could not get into this book. There are so many characters and so much jumping around that I started to keep notes on who was who and who was involved with what. The above coupled with the phonetically spelled out speech was driving me nuts. I loved the first book and the world it built, but this book just jumps around between too many characters. Additionally the phonetic spelling of the dialogue is hard to read.I don’t understand why authors have to rune perfectly good books by phonetically spelling out speech patterns. It is just as effective to day “they talked with a Scottish accent” or “they spoke with rounded consonants” or something else that tells you how the speech sounds without making you struggle through reading it phonetically.Overall I was disappointed in this book and will not be continuing the series.

      "Meghan of the Beasts, Key-Bearer of the Coven, knows the time is near. It will be by the Pool of Two Moons in the ancient city of Lucescere that the future of the witches of Eileanan is decided.As their rebel armies grow, new allies - and new dangers - emerge. The sea-dwelling Fairgean have overtaken large stretches of coastline. And why has the aloof and mysterious Margrit of Arran suddenly emerged to meet the Righ?A gripping story of magic and adventure, Pool of Two Moons is the sequel to Dragonclaw, shortlisted for the 1997 Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy"A seamless continuation to the first book. The characters keep developing nicely, some interesting new ones are added and there are some surprising twists in the story to keep it interesting.

      (Second of 6 : Witches of Eileanan series. Fantasy)The story continues on from [Dragonclaw] with Iseult and Lachlan travelling with Meghan to meet Isabeau who is hiding in the castle under the very noses of the Awl (hah! Just worked out that the dreaded Awl is the acronym for the Anti-Witchcraft League. Sometimes these things have to be spelled out for me). The rebellion is fizzing and we see a bit of Maya's powers. We find out who the Hunchback is and another heir is revealed.I did find Bachaiche’s grumpiness starting to be a pain in the neck. The witches are currently outlawed in Eileannan and continue to practice their rites in secret. But I have to wonder, since they came from another world, if their rites have any power on this world?(Reviewing hastily from my notes four months on.)Still loving Neal Armstrong’s cover illustrations. 3 stars
