Great start to a series, January 6, 2013
This was a free-book offer that I tried. Great characters and interesting world. I could really visualize a lot of the scenes - excellent descriptions. Some slow spots and lots of exposition but this is the first book, so of course a lot of ground work is being laid down. Good for people who like classical fantasy fiction like Tolkien. My only regret is the few drawings in the book were very hard to see on a Kindle Fire - but that's not the writer's fault.
