Product Description:
What brings a demon to the gates of heaven?

The half-fiend Kaanyr Vhok finally arrives at the destination he has sacrificed so much to achieve--he is in the heart of Celestia with his lover and consort, the succubus Aliisza. Only to find that the House of the Triad is falling apart, and he is bound by a vengeful Aliisza and a renegade angel into trying to save it--not exactly the goal he had in mind.

The second full-length novel in The Empyrean Odyssey, The Fractured Sky continues to follow War of the Spider Queen favorites Aliisza and Kaanyr Vhok as the pair of fiends struggle to escape the heart of a deeply troubled Celestia while bound to a particularly determined angel.

- Good story, just disappointed in the direction.
I just finished reading the second book, it took me a while to get into it because the first book was alright.. and I was really unclear about why Vhok wanted to rule Sundenbar, still not sure.

So they are in the Heavens, and there are problems. That is part of the story I like is that somehow two "good" deities get into a fight. It's plausible, because even two good people disagree. Also it's interesting that 2 Astral Devas of the same Deity can have a disagreement. I still find it odd about the killing though, especially when the devas refused to kill Vhok when they captured him.

I agree with the other reviews, it didn't seem like the main characters were in any danger at all. I was a little surprised at the end, but not too surprised because those who have gotten the 4th edition FR guide knows that *spoilers*

- Strong direction has been found in this series
While I thoroughly enjoyed the first entry in this series, The Gossamer Plain, I was unsure exactly how the trilogy itself would play out. After also enjoying The Fractured Sky to a great degree, I can say that as a long time Realms fan I'm definitely pleased with how things are rolling out.

I won't detail much of the story itself, as it really should be fully experienced by anyone interested in the characters or the developing structure of Faerun's pantheon. The character's feel vibrant and alive in their responses, and much of the novel still focuses around Aliisza and her seeming eventual crossroads concerning the life she's lived and the life she could have. Her moral situations in the first novel were brilliantly done, and while they're not present in the same degree here, the foundation they previously built is put on full display in her decisions. I, for one, am truly interested to see which ... Read More

- Average Realms novel
The Fractured Sky by Thomas M. Reid is the second book in the Empyrean Odyssey trilogy. The first book is titled The Gossamer Plain (Forgotten Realms: The Empryean Odyssey, Book 1) and the third book, which is scheduled for release in November, 2009, is titled The Crystal Mountain: Empyrean Odyssey, Book III (The Empryean Odyssey). This is the second trilogy that Mr. Reid has written in the Forgotten Realms, the first trilogy being Scions of Arrabar trilogy. The books in that trilogy include; The Sapphire Crescent (Forgotten Realms: The Scions of Arrabar), The Ruby Guardian (Forgotten Realms: The Scions of Arrabar), and The Emerald Sceptre: The Scions of Arrabar (Forgotten Realms: The Scions of Arrabar). As with the first book in this trilogy, fans of The War of the Spider Queen series may want to know that memorable characters Kaanyr Vhok and Aliiszra are once again featured in this novel. Here are my thoughts on this ... Read More
