The Gift by Patrick O'Leary
4.0
I was required to read this book for my English class, and I'm so grateful for that. This book was amazing.
Alright, first off I have to say that the writing and framing of the story was the reason that I did not give this book five stars. It can be quite confusing at times as to what is going on and in which time period or location you are in. Other than that, I had no problems with this book.
This book is an amazing example of the typical fantasy book. It has the reluctant hero, the complete quest sequence, magic and magical creatures, and a couple of villains. So, if that is what you're looking for in a book, this is a good choice.
I loved the way the characters were written, and the way that Patrick O'Leary can make the reader be moved to pity for even one of the villains after reading his back story.
Lastly the plot twists/surprises were well written, and had my prof not already spoiled them for me ahead of time, I would not have been able to guess them.
