The whatever sex I gave up reading is indeed awkward according to him. *Checked with Julio's review about sex bits. Out of all the characters so vividly introduced in the beginning of the book, only a handful (if even) stay with us through the very end. Why some of the dead turn zombies and some (like Enis) don't? Will Gard ever shut his venomous mouth, there is a war going on around, after all, things to kill, things to do (pardon the pun). More zombies, as we lose characters from the beginning of the book to author's forgetfulness(?). Oh, when all else fails, call for zombies and endless running in the desert.

We stumble upon a victim of a vicious attack - Gard, the desert spirit, who is now under complete control of the evil Shadow. We meet new characters as Dragon King joins a caravan to cross into a desert.

We travel to remnants of the ancient kingdom. The Dragon King wakes from his slumber and sets out on a quest. The book started so well, with dragons and desert spirits and old lore it promised a grand adventure.
