Customer Reviews

A Philosopher's delight!

While this book is not like the light entertainment provided by the Warlock series, it is a well written story that uses fantasy as a backdrop for religious and philosophical debate. I have long enjoyed these same traits in Stasheff's Wizard in Rhyme series. I do not reccomend these books as readily to my fantasy reading friends as I do the Warlock books, mostly because I know that not everyone enjoys pondering the nature of good and evil, God, and the universe as much as I do. On the whole, I am impressd enough with this book (which I own in paperback) that I am purchasing a hardback copy in anticipation of many enjoyable re-reads.

I thought that Chris had a lot of inginuety

This was one of the last books I have read, and I have read many. I have read stuff by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman, I have read stuff my David Eddings, and Katherine Kurtz, I have read the classics by Tolkein. I belive that Chris gave a good point of view from the Ulin's side. They are elder. They are stronger. Yet a normal human beat them. This book was like one I've never read before, and as I showedabove; I have read a lot of books.
