Everyone
(that I know) loves a good fantasy. Who doesn’t love daring heroes and wondrous
heroines? Or spectacular shows of magic and cunning sidekicks? It’s been a
while since I’ve read such a book, so when asked I was thrilled with the
opportunity to read this.
It’s like
a dash of Dragonlance, toss in some Robert Jordan for flavor and sprinkle a
little Harry Potter in for zing. (Take my Hodge podge with a grain of salt will
you? Trying to remain spoiler free here.) The world is unto itself different
yet similar to fantasy worlds I’ve visited before so it was sort of like a
homecoming. At the same time because it did feel slightly familiar there was no
enchantment to it.
The
characters are what we expect from fantasy characters. They’re strong in their
own individual ways and weak in them as well. There is no perfect character.
Though I would have liked more time with them individual to get to know them
better.
The story
flips in a continuous rotation between characters. For those not used to
handling more than two or three characters at a time this may not be for you.
However for those that have read the previously mentioned series in my salad
complex you’ll find this story enjoyable and (again as I said preciously)
comfortably familiar.
Overall,
I would say it was an average experience. For me there was nothing really epic about the tale though it was engaging and at time entertaining. I would
however, recommend this for those that enjoy and often visit the vast realm of
fantasy.
