Where's the sequel?
25 April 2000

Format:Paperback
Aside from his 'anvil of ice' series, this is the work of Michael Scott Rohan that I like the best. It's about a series of mis-matched characters who get together to save the world in an alternate reality.
I got to the end of this book and wished for a second book to read more of these characters, because the characters grow and change with the length of the novel and I would love to see the continuation of that growth. Come on guys - get your act together and give us another book!

The main characters of this fantasy are very stereotypical, but they're really entertaining. One in particular kept me giggling throughout most of the work. Sometimes the author fails to describe the action scenes as detailed as I would like (ex. When did this guy end up in a tree? I don't understand what's happening.) It was a little bit like playing an old-school video game. Your main characters have a set of attacks they can do, and the battles are very predictable and standard (first one guy goes in, then the next guy attacks, then the third guy attacks, and the underdog hero sweeps in at the last minute to save them all). The group goes from one battle to the next to the next to the next, with lulls of riding a ship or walking through a forest in between the battles. Overall it was entertaining enough, but very very simple and stereotypical.

A brilliant romp through an alternate history.

Format:Paperback
The only reason that this doesn't get a five star is that it should go on... The world Scott Rohan//Allan Scott build richly textured, funny yet believable. It's rare to find a delicate enough touch to combine humour drama, and pathos, and still manage to suspend disbelief. I want a sequel!
