The second book of the series The
Immortal Veil, titled “The Leaves of Dusk,” redefines the word EPIC. The
first part, “The Exiled Son,” introduces the reader to the characters, and gets
the reader attached to each and every man, woman, and creature through side
stories and plot lines. Then, in Part 2, White takes the reader’s favorite
characters and begins to systematically abuse them, breaking them down
emotionally, physically, and spiritually. I found myself actually vocalizing
while I was reading, “He better not actually be dead! He better make some
miraculous recovery!” White pushes the characters to the edge, and in doing so
pushes the reader to the edge as well. Then, when it couldn’t possibly get more
epic, “The Leaves of Dusk” climaxes with the most intense and moving battle I
have ever come across. Don’t make the mistake and stop reading after Part 1.
Instead, dive into “The Leaves of Dusk,” Part 2 (I promise you won’t regret
it!) If you don’t read the second half (now that would be regrettable!), you
will be missing out on a rich and rare experience that comes only with reading
the most epic novel ever written.
