Just as excellent as the first book.  The land of the Shadow King is dark, and dreary, and monsters roam.  But after being crowned Kings the Prince and Knight set off to fight this darkness and chase it from their realm.  However, in a bad battle the knight almost drowns, but his loving prince rescues him.  This is seen by the Shadow King who comes out from hiding to tell his story and find his rainbow.  This book was so good.  It is a great metaphor on how seeing others being able to live the happy you were denied can help bring the happy back and find the right place for one if life.  As with the first book the illustrations are bright, colorful, and amazing.
