Soon, however, it must find that it is not the only one who is looking out for Alberon - all enemies of the empire seem to have sent ambassadors to find the renegade prince. And soon be Wynter and her companions against a powerful enemy that threatens to destroy the kingdom.
the story about Wynter, Razi and Christopher.
re Celine Kiernan takes her readers into a world full of magic, danger and interesting cultures.

Wynter has since then decided to accompany to Razi and his friend Christopher on their search for the rebel prince Alberon, they are out on your own. For her two friends have a head start. Still plagued by Wynter's conscience, after all, they had their terminally ill father without permission from the ever more visible Jonathon King to leave.

But soon encounters Wynter their companions and together they make to Alberon on the road. However, the journey is not without risk and especially for Christopher rouse some events the nightmares of the past.

The characters in the first part were drawn very carefully and lovingly to win in the sequel continues in depth. Just about Christopher learns many things - and that is just right, are finally in shadow paths mainly made insinuations about his painful past. In the same way the reader gets more information about Christopher's people - the Merron. Not least because of the fact that the companions encounter a tribe of these people and spend some time with them. It is noteworthy that the author of the idea for this nation and its language does not come from nowhere. Although I do not speak Irish, but I know enough words to realize that , the author of the original language of their people if not taken directly, but used in part.
also in its predecessor is obvious that Kiernan paints more of a medieval world, and only partially changed things that make a fantastic character.

The relationship between Christopher Wynter and deepened. The more time they spend together, the greater the understanding of each other. Although Wynter knows hardly anything of Christopher's background, she understands it, and his anxiety attacks and nightmares deal.
Christopher shows, this time from a different page. For far from Royal court, he needs nothing more audition and dissipated most of his playful and mischievous nature itself. It appears now deep into his dark side which he tries to hide again. The past catches up with him again and that has an effect on his state of mind and his mind. It is this mental anguish and total panic is perfectly drawn and believable - and makes Christopher someone who can understand the man and his actions are understandable.

As for the content, ghost trails

is the typical intermediate volume of a trilogy. The main plot is driven not really know the author focuses more on character development and background processing. So it shall probably laid the foundation to make the events in the final band perfectly understandable.
Unlike other trilogy that rest period is anything but boring. Page after page is worth reading and exciting. The relationship between depression and Christopher Wynter read just wonderful. And Razi offenbahrt some of its weaknesses and strengths, where the emphasis is not on him.
It is still written from Wynter's point of view (as Peronal Narrator), which is perfectly adequate and also pursue their own development without much effort can be.




In conclusion we can say that, even if it is this second part is a typical stop-gap, the story remains exciting and interesting. This gives a deeper insight into the culture of Merron, and particularly in Christopher. Interpersonal relationships are clarified and deepened and cleared of any unexplained characteristics.


Many thanks to
