Pretty silly compared with Tolkein or Le Guin but still fun.

The Return of the Dwarves Book 1 by Markus Heitz is perfect for any lover of fantasy epics. It has a unique concept, a Dwarf raised around humans who is realy quite naiive amongst his fellow dwarves
The character development is glorious! Each character artfully made larger than life due to Heitz' highly illustrative narrative
I am looking forward to following this series as it is certainly one to invest time in. Outstanding!

A good classic quest based fantasy story. There always seems to be happening something, even if it feels very predictable.

My only issue with this book is that it took a while for the story to really get started. There was a good deal of setting up which is likely important to the series that some people may not get past. However, once you get past it this book is great. I fell in love with the characters & enjoyed it till the end. I am looking for the second book in the series.
