Review: A bemusing book.
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 10 8, 2013
I read the first book and was bemused by it, so I bemusedly decided to get the 2nd.  I was bemused by it as well.I think the author discovered a new word here and got a little carried away...Still, it was a decent 2 books. Basically, fantasy 101. Which is not a bad thing. If you have never read fantasy before, this book would be a good primer on what fantasy books are like. Has all the basics, young boy/man coming into his own, evil vs good, trolls, demons, wizards, magic, beautiful damsels, dragons, elves, etc...  Nothing new, but nothing bad either.  Fantasy is all about characters and character development and this book did well with its characters. Kinda rote fantasy, but, I enjoyed it.I will buy the 3rd book, if/when it comes out.  The author seems to be going through a writing bloc right now and is having some trouble finishing the 3rd book...it's been over 2 yrs.Not bad. You'll probably be bemused.
