I really enjoyed this book. The characters were interesting, the plot gripping, and most of all, it was a pure delight to read. I couldn't put it down. Magic, conflict, the never ending struggle between good and evil... very "Tolkenesque." I highly recomend it to any fantacy fan. I hope they make it into a movie!

I happened to run into this book by accident. I was stopped by the author who was selling his books at a little stand in front of Coles in a little mall near my house. He convinced me to purchase his book and told me if I liked Tolkien's Hobit (and I did) then I would like his book. So I bought it and he autographed it for me and I took it home and read it. It really was a wonderful example of a magical Tolkienistic fantasy set in a far off world. It's your classic Guy Gavriel Kay (another excellent Canadian fantasy author) type story of an evil that's supressed for so long and then suddenly unleashed for a new generation of heros to fight. The best part about this book was that it wasn't too long.
