This book is a very entertaining action fantasy novel. It has everything that makes a book of this genre a great read. There are interesting characters: I'm thinking of the tall traveller Wyndmere and Percy, the scholar. There is a great story-line: mysterious creatures invading the land; events and dangers of truly super natural and catastrophic proportions. And just as it should be, there is lots of action and mystery.The book is well-written, well-structured and fast flowing, which is something I appreciate in novels of that kind. It starts with a marvellous prologue that sets the scene: a ghost ship and beautiful women in caskets. I won't give away more. You get to know the characters well enough to understand their actions in the context of the eerie challenges they are faced with.I understand there are more books of this epic fantasy in the pipeline. I look forward to reading them. As far as this one is concerned, I highly recommend it, not only to readers of this genre, but also to readers of other genres who would like to experiment with something different.
