The second in The Abhorsen trilogy, this is as exciting as the first volume - Sabriel. It is a world where, in Ancelstierre, there are guns, telephones, motors; in the Old Kingdom there is magic bound by the Charter. But some magic is not bound and in the hands of necromancers threatens to overturn the world. Conventional ingredients maybe, but they are handled with great assurance. Inventive, action packed - well worth reading.
