Entertaining

Picked it up randomly ..was pleasantly surprised. Characters interaction was written well as well as the descriptions that the author put of the land. The plot itself was very interesting ... its set in three different areas (with different characters)who are potrayed very well.

Wonderful Speculative Fiction Novel

Having not read the series before this book I had no real preconceptions about the writing style or the land in which it was set. From reading the reviews of the prequal triology it seems like I was lucky to avoid them, however without prior knowledge I dont think scenes held as much impact and a number slipped over my head until I read further. The novel is broken into three different areas with a seperate charcter in each. They all grow over the novel and each has thier own pecularities that seemed very human. From previous reviews it seems he has made the pacing a little quicker and has foccused on improving the charcter development, while amping down descriptions of the sorroundings. It is however important to note that Kirkpatrick is a geographer so it would be wise to expect a detailed description of areas and maps. I found his realm very entertaining and it kept me enthralled until the end, I found the pacing very smooth and it definatley has an interesting syle of reading that I would recommend needs to be read in scenes and not haphazardly.
