A Good Spring Board For Any RPG

I read this book and I own all three books in the whole series. This book was very good and sets the stage for a very intriguing story. There are many twists and turns with loveable and hateable characters. There is a uniqueness that any RPGer would love and I currently have several handles from this book.

Honestly, the best book I have ever read.

I like to consider myself a fantasy connoisseur, having read everything from Tolkien to Jacques, LeGuin to Weis. I enjoy the genre very much. When I received this book as a gift, I must confess I expected it to be another ho-hum piece of trash, like such which have become so popular these days. I was totally unprepared for the riveting universe this book brought me in to. The setting, the characters, the mood - all are lovingly coaxed into one's mind by a masterful artisan of words, and I personally could not put the book down from the first page to the last. Congratulations on this wonderful work, Mr. Coe, and thank you for sharing a little bit of yourself with all of us.

Memorable characters and a fast-paced, gripping story.

Coe has outdone himself in this wonderful work of fiction. It has all the ingredients of a great fantasy novel: Good characters, stunning description, and enough plot twists to keep you up late into the night. Watch Coe for more must-reads in the future!

A very good book!

I love this book, simply because I find it to be a very intresting story and I love birds of prey. I think everyone with a love of fantasy and birds should read this. I might also be a little partial to this book because I met the auther and he seemed really nice, beside, give him a break people! This is his FIRST book. I believe it is really good.
