I have read both "The Warded Man" and "The Desert Spear" and I love them both. If you have read the first book and disliked it, then do not read the sequel as the formula does not change. However if you did like the first book then I recommend this book highly. It has everything you liked from the first book and expands the plot by adding the demon princes in an interesting side plot. Jardir from the first book has added depth after we spend the first half of the book on him (don't worry the author did not forget Arlen).

This book, written in the early 1950s by a former Chinese ambassador to London, is a cultured and entertaining view of the gastronomic side of Chinese life. F.T. Cheng sets out to show Westerners that there was a lot more to Chinese food culture than chop suey. It is a wonderful reminder of the richness and depth of Chinese culture from a man who also completely understood the West.
