First in the Magic Kingdom of Landover series and an enjoyable entry in the type of fantasy series where modern-day folks encounter traditional fantasy worlds with knights, dragons, faeries, elves, etc. I've read much of Terry Brooks' other work including the more traditional fantasy Shannara series and also his modern-day Word and the Void magic series so thought I would give this a try. I wasn't disappointed. It takes a while to get going, but once it does, you find yourself in a delightful, magical land with blue trees (that are edible) and a host of interesting characters, including a living castle. I'm already in the process of acquiring the rest of the books in the series and I hear they just keep getting better!
