The High Druid's Blade by Terry Brooks

4.0

---

Loved it, of course. I was a bit astonished to realize that I've apparently missed the end of the trilogy I had started, and was taking up after those events, but you can very quickly get acclimated to this story, without having read the previous stories. The characters are intriguing and well written, and enough new characters mixed with the old ones. I think part of this story was very obvious, ie; who the spy was, however, not for the reasons you would expect. Some things apparently occur "offscreen" and you don't know about them until the character reveals it, which is something I'm not a fan of, but for reasons of brevity, I guess its necessary, otherwise you'll have a splitting of books into 2 (ala George RR) All in all, at least 4 stars!
