The Barrow by Mark Smylie

4.0

This story was so very different from a lot of the fantasy stories I've read. The characters were very deep, well developed & there was some character growth. Not every character was as they seemed & you had to pay attention to some nuances as the story progressed. Magic was used in abundance & not subtle as in many fantasy stories. Not a lot of sword fighting or combat threw out the book, but was a nice change as what little there was I felt the author didn't explain the movements as the fight was purely for story progression. I do recommend this for any fan of fantasy adventure works.
