Helpful Score: 2

A Beautifully written fantasy saga that is very deep and challenging.

I found it took me a greater amount of time and effort to read. Some character names interrupt the flow of the read because they have common English meanings (I.E. one character is called Sorry).

The story is incredibly involved and fascinating. The characters are well defined and interesting.

My greatest complaint is the author's use of magic which seemed a bit weak. It is unsatisfying and novice to use magic to solve a problem when all other hope is lost. With any luck the author's use of magic becomes as sophisticated as the other aspects his writing.
