Not bad, but not memorable
20 Mar 2008
Format:Mass Market Paperback
The plot of the book was unique. The main character spends the story attempting to uncover the person responsible for a plot to destroy him. It's a much better story than the stereo-typical adventure plot.
Although the plot and writing (and vocabulary!) are excellent, the characters are decidedly lacking. Their emotions and motives are not heavily explored and a few, such as the troll-man who serves as the main character's side-kick, end up feeling highly stereo-typical. Although the events in the story are satisfying, the lack of character development left me without any actual emotional attachment to what I read.
This book is a pleasant enough distraction as a bedtime read, but not much more.

I recently found this book in a used book store, and I absolutely love it. Craig Mills has such a unique way of describing events and things that go on about the characters. The plot is original, and the outcome is better. The events between are suspensful, pleasing, sorrowful, everything they're supposed to be. The description is some of the best I've read. It has just a tinge of darkness to it, just a hint that not everything will turn out alright.
The characters are all believable, and they have human emotions, wants, fears and dreams, down to the minor characters. I'm suprised this book hasn't seen more publicity. It may be older, but it is as of now, my favorite.
