Once a Hero: A Fantasy Novel by Michael a. Stackpole

2.0

A pretty generic fantasy novel that didn't really go anywhere. I agreed with someone else's review where they noted that the middle was really the highlight of the book.

If you read a lot of fantasy, this isn't a bad example of the genre and you'll probably enjoy it. If you're looking for a book to convince you of all that is awesome in 'ride around on horses with elves' fantasy, this should not be the book that you pick up.
