Narration Concering Books Prophecy: Child of Earth (Symphony of Ages #2)
In Rhapsody, a fellowship was forged-- three companions who, through great adversity, became a force to be reckoned with: Rhapsody the Singer; Achmed the assassin-king; and Grunthor, the giant Sergeant-Major. Prophecy continues their powerful epic. Driven by a prophetic vision, Rhapsody races to rescue a religious leader while Achmed and Grunthor seek the F'dor-- an ancient and powerful demon. These companions may be destined to fulfill The Prophecy of the Three, but their time is running short. They must find their elusive enemy before his darkness consumes them all.Rating Of Books Prophecy: Child of Earth (Symphony of Ages #2)

Strong middle book that answers a lot of questions from the first book but sets up the concluding volume very well. The political situation gets much more interesting, and the mystery deepens. I really enjoyed this book.Excellent follow up to Rhapsody. The twists and turns reminded me of a great Fantasy Opera.
Of the original trilogy, this book was the least interesting. Still enjoyable and it nicely builds up the world they have found themselves in.

This book is the second of the Symphony of Ages series. The series is still in progress, but so far this is my favorite, for two main reasons. Firstly, not to mince words......our heroine Rhapsody finally Gets Some (nudge, nudge, wink, wink, know what I mean ?). Like every other aspect of her writing, Haydon gives us....ahem.... Good Parts that are really really good. In fact, go ahead and dog-ear pages 478 and 506 right now! Rhapsody had her sweet, romantic teenage encounter in the first book,
For half of this book, I thought there was no way I could love this as much as the first book. Of course I was wrong and those last 150-200 pages I COULD NOT PUT DOWN.I have come to the conclusion that Elizabeth Haydon is a genius. Throughout the first book and continuing into the second, nothing was rushed everything seemed to happen naturally. Or as naturally as the impending, ultimate doom of the world can. Though there were times that I was screaming at the characters to just "freakin' tell
The saga continues (and is clearly not finished). Some of the scenarios seem just too simple, but Haydon makes them work anyway, perhaps because the main character remains almost childlike in her black and white interpretations of the world.
Did not live up to the first one. I had very high expectations, and they were not met. I may read the next one, but if it's just as bad, I don't know if I'll continue.
