I read this book when it first came out, and I remember really loving it. Now that I have tracked down the two sequels, I decided to revisit the trilogy as a whole. And first of all, I have to admit that I had not remembered any of the details from my first time reading it in 1997-ish. In reading it again, I do wonder what it was that stuck out so much to me. While I did like it, I thought it was a good set-up for an interesting world, other than the identical twins aspect, I am not really sure that it is as terrific as I had originally thought. Not that there were any major flaws, it just seemed like a pretty straightforward fantasy story with a pretty unique twist of magic. I am curious about where this trilogy will go, but I wish I could remember what made this book stick out to me so much thirteen years ago... It must be the twin-thing...
