The Book of Deacon
by Joseph R. Lallo, Nick Deligaris
The Book of Deacon doesn't break much in the way of new ground, but it's a solid fantasy novel in a nicely imagined and described world from the mind of Joseph Lallo. Pre-industrial era, magic, elves/dwarves/dragons, humble origins for the protagonist, an evil empire to hide from/fight against...all the standard pieces are here. I still enjoyed the story, though, since Lallo tells it well and has enough different irons in the fire at once to keep it interesting. The storyline is fairly predictable, but again, it's still fun to read.
Note: This review is just for the first book. See my review on The Battle of Verril, the third book, for the whole trilogy.
