In some ways pretty typical fantasy stuff, but definitely enjoyable. A bit of unexpectedness right at the end. I'm not quite sure where the next two books are going, but I think this one wraps up most things pretty nicely, at least for the main character.

Not enough world building and too much conflict during what should be the declining action.

Picked this book up on a whim while en route to a weekend trip to Monterey, CA. Read the back cover and insert and based on the description and positive review by Terry Brooks (my favorite author) I gave it a shot.
This was just my kind of book. Enough action to keep me entertained and an amount of character development that didn't leave me bored and waiting for more action. The twists and surprises always kept me guessing and there were even parts that emotionally affected me (in a good way). I would recommend this book to anyone.
I am looking forward to the next books in the trilogy.

This was recommended to me by some of my guy friends, and I was pleasantly surprised with how much I liked the book. Glad I bought the whole trilogy so I have the next two to read on my nook!
My only complaint about this story was that the viewpoints changed more than I would have liked. Sometimes parts of the story left me really confused because I didn't have a good grasp of what was going on.
