Notes:

Kate Reading did a fantastic job! Great narration.

I think there's a misunderstanding about what makes a story an epic. It's not about having a lot of characters in play, backstabbing being part of the norm or several portions at war with one another. It's not about having a foretold destiny and lines drawn to state where you stand.

It doesn't matter how many pieces are on the board if they are not drawn together, shaken and redrawn into intriguing patterns. That's the underlying part of what makes a story epic. Everyone has a preference on whether or not a plot is character or event driven. I actually like it best when it's a balanced mix.

This book was not an epic. It is an interesting YA and fun fantasy adventure story.
