And while those two characters and their quest dominate the pages, it’s the friends and foes they meet along the way that truly flesh out their story. This emotional character-driven adventure has been described as a “gateway book” for those who have never read fantasy, and has been praised for its writing style and literary merit, including earning a prestigious “starred review” by Kirkus Reviews.LINKS:www.RichardSweitzer.com
