Helpful Score: 3

I really liked it! It's not the deepest or the most resounding fantasy I've ever read, but it drew me right into the story. I found myself putting other things off so I could go back to reading.

I wish some of the characters had been more fleshed out and given a more detailed history, Brian in particular, but that's my only real criticism. Well, that, and I think the author has a real dislike for winters in Maine! :P

There were very distant shades of Kay's Fionavar Tapestry trilogy -- not in the bulk of the story or even in the writing, but just around the edges. It made me laugh when I thought of that because the first book in that trilogy is The Summer Tree!
