Tone is Happy

This book has a tone that is light and airy, as most fantasy books do. The author of this book is obviously a happy person who likes a happy ending. The tone of this book keeps the reader happy and not rally scared or sad at the events that take place. I like the way the author kept a character in the book that keeps the tone positive even in the most dire of situatations. ... So you see how the tone of the book can be a very positive one, and the author does very well in keeping that positive tone. I thought this book was very well written in terms of tone. The author is one I respect and admire, and I also love this book. A fantasy reader will find its use of action and plot very intriguing, with the tone as it is. The book is one of my all time favorites and I'm sure the people who have read it will agree that, if made famous, this book will become an instant classic. ...

This book seriously kicked ...

Hey, i'm just sayin that i'm a heavy fantasy reader, and i read this thing and is seriously kicked .... the plot was great, it was very well written, and i even got in trouble more than once in skool for readin it wen i shouldn't have been, kuz i couldn't put it down. I admit it was a bit slow at the beginning, but once you get to the Travelers Rest, it shot off like one of Brie's arrows. There were alot of twists and turns that you didn't expect, and some things that just shocked you all together. It wasn't your typical fantasy, either. Edith made up new races and creatures, and instead of a regular bad..., the guy is a freaking gardener! okay i'm just saying that this book kicked ..., and read it, you won't regret it!

GREAT!

I actually read the second book, Fire Arrow, first. I love both books. I am very critical about books and i loved this! It shows a strong female role and has a lot of action. It also has magic, animals, and a great plot. I reread the book about a million times and i found something new each time. Every single character plays their part and i like them all, even the bad ones because they're doing what they're supposed to. It's also full of surprises and there are a lot of twists in the story line. I recomend this book to people around 12 and up. It's a must read.

Unlike most Fantasy Books.

Once upon a time...This is the ususl format for some fantasy books, but not for this one! With and unusual story line and a nice change of scenery into a more celtic background, this book is refreshing to read. No more decoding unneccessary and stupid plays on words, the description is detailed but not over-bearing. Over all a different book, with a very different kind of hero! P.S, has anyone else noticed that Talisen is the name of a legendary bard in mythology/legends?

This is a great book!

I enjoyed this book so much! It is a wondurful fiction book for all ages! There is always action in this book and Mrs. Pattou paints pictures in your mind wonderfully. I espicially liked the part where Collun, the main character, and Talisen, his best friend, stop at The travlers rest (an inn) and meet Brie. This book is like a drug, when you finish it, you want to read the next and next . . . .
