A young man is shipwrecked on a strange shore after having been shanghaied by the brothers of a young lady, only to find he has become the play thing of the gods. They have created a barrier to divide the world in two, the better to manage the use of magic by the inhabitants, and themselves.
Our intrepid traveller has somehow managed to pass through the barrier and thus upset the balance. This means he is the target of the other magicians (his presence drains some of their power) and most of the gods. Makes for a very interesting tale.
A nice added touch is the illustrations throughout.
An enjoyable journey to lose yourself in.
Descriptions of the scenery and characters was well done.

I just finished my first "fantasy" novel since reading the J.R.R. Tolkien books. But, things may change after reading CASTAWAY'S QUEST: AN ANDUR OF TRIVIN'S MARCH ADVENTURE by John Sunseri.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters were well drawn, the actions sequences spectacular and the story moves along at a pace that will leave you breathless.
Just when I thought I knew what was coming I was surprised and left delighted. I don't think the book could have wrapped up any better.

Thank you to the author and Library Thing for the free copy.
Overall this was entertaining. There is a lot of action, found family, humor, and likeable characters. It did struggle a bit with plot and dialogue at times though. I'd still be interested in seeing the adventure continue.
