A
lot of work has gone into building the world of this book, a flat-out fantasy
adventure with several very engaging characters and enough treachery and magic
to fuel a season of GAME OF THRONES.
This
is a book that’s suffused with magic—blood magic, elemental magic, you name it.
The magic builds from the small to the epic, and the magic battles are very
satisfying. (Fans of this kind of material may see some parallels to Katherine
Kurtz’ fantastic DERYNI CHRONICLES, which are history-based and use an
alternate Wales as their location.)
