The Book of the Sword - AJ Lake

Part 2 of the Darkest Age bookseries, this is the second volume of the story.

It is a pretty thin volume though, going slightly over 200 pages, but as such I went through it in a measly 3 days as well.

Lost in the frozen wastes of the Snowlands, Edmund and Elspeth are powerless to prevent the dark forces from rising.  Though they may be lost, others are aware of their presence in the remote realm.  The sword brought them closer to their destiny than they realise, and they must use every ounce of nerve to overcome the forces which await them.

Now, these are aimed at a younger audience, but to be honest they aren`t that bad at all, nor to simplistic.  But heck, it just remains a short book...
