I liked that Seth has to get Vasilis, the sword of light and darkness, for his quest. I thought how he confronted the Singing Sisters (to learn the location of the sword) was also creative. I just wish it had seemed more of a threat. Again Brandon Mull was explaining how difficult it is to strike a bargain with the sisters, and the threat didn't seem as threatening as it should have been. This is obviously something the other should work on. I also thought that Brandon Mull needs to make the evil lurking in the cave behind the totem wall (in a cave) more threatening. In the cave he only faces two obstacles, none of which I think a threatening enough.
When Seth journeyed into the cave to face his final (second threat) threat I found it surprising that it was one of the undead. Just like the undead that he first had to confront earlier in the cave. As it continues on with the undead man conversing with Seth, its interesting to learn that the man is and once was a wizard. In fact he was one of the wizards who sealed Zyncs (the demon prison). The wizard also claims that he's the owner of Vasilis and that he was brought here to guard it. Along with this interesting information you find out that he was a prideful wizard and was soon to die. To try to stop the outcome of his death he turned himself into one of the undead to preserve his life. Vasilis, like the unicorn horn, can only be given, even after death. Well except after death your friends are free to take the sword but not your enemies. Since the wizard was unwilling to part with the sword the other wizards (his friends) were forced to post him as a guardian over the sword.
