A fun break from the seriousness and self-importance of most modern fantasy. Sure, it's a small novel, moves quickly and feels somewhat shallow, but I liked the characters and the story. It's a whole lot better than the many ponderous, ultra-hyped, copycat mega-novels that are out these days.

Terry brooks breaks away from his shannara series to write a very good book full of suspense and action. This book is a very interesting read and is well written. Reccommended for any fan of fantasy.

Way back when I first started into fantasy, this one caught my eye. To buy a Kingdom was a cool idea. Of course at the time they don't explain all the 'bad' things which go with it and that you have to leave this world. LOved it.

Exceptional fantasy storytelling.

If you like books like this one, might I suggest another I've recently come across. The Unsuspecting Mage by Brian S. Pratt. It's another fantasy adventure sure to please. I highly recommend it.
