Clever fantasy, great good and evil competition and neat magic. Also dragons. Characters very realistic, multi dimensional.

An interesting beginning to a promising fantasy series, with great characters and a compelling story.

This book started off with an interesting enough preminse and I wanted to like it but I couldn't get into plot or the characters. I was also turned off by the dialect that the characters used. There were too many, o'er and thee and thou's for me. I didn't even get to the 5th chapter. I really wanted to like this book.

Ah, it's the law of the universe (the PBS universe, that is). For once it's a snap to order all the books in a series at once - and then of course you find out you don't care to finish them all. That was the case here. Fired up by good reviews, I got them all lined up before I started reading the first. I really expected to like this series! I think it may actually be pretty decent. But the author's dogged attempt to reproduce a dialect just completely gets in the way of the story for me. It's such a tough slog because of the language that I couldn't even get halfway through the first book in the series.

This was an excellent book...characterization and world building were exceptionally well done.
