Even though critics rated it down a few people decided to read the not nearly as good story, it goes as such:
"Long ago in the mythical lands of Agrithala there lived a race of elves with powers beyond humanity. They thrived and succeded as a race and had remained in touch with the spirit and nature. They could do amazing things and they where always thankful. Eventual the discovery of the time machine ruined this peace. As you can imagine when humanity discovered a perfect world where everyone had powers and could understand the secrets of the universe they went crazy. Most people flooded into this world to try and take resources, some merely bugged the creatures for knowledge. The elves of Agrithala got fed up easily fed up, but they where peaceful and tried not to mind...."
That's only the first chapter of the three-hundred page epic of death, romance, and terror.
See, not nearly as intricate or thoughtful as the first book.
Also I haven't a clue how this story is pertinent to the first one whatsoever.
