Query: What is Everyone so Happy About??????

If you haven't read the Seer and the Sword, then i guess this is a good book. But as I have read the first book, i can't say that this one was particularly exciting. the plot was okay, but it got too confusing and lengthy. And i was disappointed in it as a companion novel, because it could have displayed how the characters in the first book have really developed. i understand this isnt Torina or Landen's story, but as the mother and father of the main character, you would think they'd be more involved with their daughter. As for the characters in general, they weren't as well developed as the characters were in the Seer and the Sword.
