Only series to keep my attention

I read this series about 8 years ago, and it was amazing.These books have been the only ones thus far to keep me on edge and into it. I dont care to read, but these were well worth reading twice. Would highly recomend the series to anyone.

A Brilliant Read

I think what the reviewers who rated this book poorly, calling it 'dull & uncaptivating' & 'dont waste your time' are forgetting is that this books is meant for readers U16. The hero is a child, and if you're a child who reads this book, it is simply amazing: There's pretty graphic magic & action sequences, hero's, villians, treachery & love. And a boy who, against all odds (with the aid of friends) becomes all he can be & leads the fight against evil. I read this book when I was 14. It was amazing. Much better (at that age) than Tolkien, who I thought spent too much time describing the countryside than advancing his plot. For children, this should be next in line after Harry Potter.

Simply great

an excellent fantasy novel to be placed up with the greats. Why tolkein's books with thier boring traveling scenes are more fameous then these is unbelivable. Learn It, Live It, Love It: fantasy.

Most Enjoyable

This book held me captive from the beginning. The characters came to life and the story line was great. A disadvataged youth called Thane holds the future of the world in his hands. This book has it all: treachery, heros, evil, kings, wizards etc.

This is quite possibly the greatest fantasy ever written

Once a person embarks upon this book they will not be able to put the book down until it's finished. This is the story of a young boy who is of humble origins. His prescence brings old legends to life as the great war horses, battle owls, and border runners are seen for this first time in an age. He shows the making of the one who will rescue Eludium, however people fear what they fail to understand and he is exiled to a dark fortress where he rises to power. The fate of all Eludium is held in the sword arm of a young boy who was driven into exile. If you have not read this book you haven't really lived.
