Tracy Hickman and Richard Garriott's Eye of Scales is the second book in the Shroud of the Avatar series.
I enjoyed the first book ,the Sword of Midras, but the second book in the series seemed less focused and less engaging. I wouldn't recommend picking this one up unless you have read the previous book since there is little characterization establishment here, preferring instead to continue the story from the first novel. Even having read the first book I still found myself having to try to remember characters and their connections with each other.
Having said that, once the story gets going and you find your footing with the world and characters again, which is done through exposition dumps, it is a rather entertaining story with dry humour sprinkled here and there.
Thanks to #NetGalley, #TorBooks, Tracy Hickman and Richard Garriott for the ARC of #TheEyeOfScales.
