In the sequel to Sword of Fire and Sea, Vidarian Rulorat faces the consequences of opening the gate between worlds. Called into service by the desperate young emperor of Alorea, Vidarian must lead sky ships in a war against the neighboring southern empire, train the demoralized imperial Sky Knights to ride beasts that now shapeshift, master his own amplified elemental magic, and win back Ariadel--all without losing his mind.

My main problem with this second outing was that unlike the first book I felt more like I was reading the straight run through of a video game. The plot moves from Point A to Point B with little enough deviation that it felt stiff. The few deviations are minor and not particularly interesting, while Hoffman doesn't do enough to expand the world itself. Hoffman relies too heavily on the reader's prior knowledge of the first book (who Ruby is, the events surrounding the gate being opened, the feud between the various factions) while somehow giving out information about world sparingly.
I said the first book brought me back to the good old days of adventuring fantasy, and this still holds true. Sadly much like those books I was so fond of in my youth, LANCE OF EARTH AND SKY doesn't move the plot forward enough to make the reader care.
