The Summer Tree by Guy Gavriel Kay
5.0

Very engaging! It's what I refer to as "classical / high" fantasy - very Tolkien-esque at times, but in this case it's a good thing. If you compare, say, to Eddings and his Belgariad, the latter also falls under the same genre (in my eyes) but is much more... cliche, I guess.
