"Broken Quill, the second volume of 'The Reminiscent Exile', is considered Outstanding in Genre (Urban Fantasy)." ~ Red Adept Select *~*~*~* Morpheus Renegade has fallen and Declan Hale, the Shadowless Arbiter, has returned from the dead. But scores are still to be settled. A creature from Forget stalks Perth, taunting Declan, drawing him out of his bookshop and forcing him across worlds once again. The last time Declan broke his exile, it cost him his life. Worse, the Knights Infernal have done the unthinkable and withdrawn from True Earth—leaving humanity unprotected against the Void. Among demonic serial killers, malevolent gods, old girlfriends, and pressure from the local cops, Declan stands at the heart of a conflict ten thousand years in the making. The Knights may have abandoned Earth to enemies as old and as cruel as time, but Declan won’t let his world—or his favorite pub—fall without a fight. *~*~*~* - from Amazon.com
I thoroughly enjoyed the first book in this series, and was a bit excited to see where Joe Ducie was going to take us in this second book. I was not let down. Declan Hale is back, and now he is on a mission to save both Earth and the land of Forget. Is it for riches and fame? Not a chance. This takes place about 3 months after the first book, and Declan Hale is fighting something that he has no clue how to defeat. In the process, he finds old friends, loses his "magical powers", and remembers how to love. The ending closes everything up here in this book, but leaves the opening for future books, which I hope Ducie does work on, as I would like to see how Declan solves some of these other 'problems'.
