The Ryel Saga is a well written book with an immense world filled with unique and satisfying characters and cultures.  The only downside to me was it is a bit heavy on the romance.  That can only be expected with a title like A Tale of Love and Magic, and it did nothing to diminish my overall enjoyment of the book.Ryel's Saga takes him on a very long journey to master his Art (magic), learn his true origins, defeat the evil threatening the world, and find his love.  Along the way we are treated to numerous cities and cultures that are wonderfully described by this gifted author.  I always find references to the literature in the world that is created to be a great insight into the characters.  In this book we are treated to some stories that Ryel grew up enjoying, I always find that a good insight into the character.  This book will take you around the world, break your heart, grant you new and wonderful friends, and you may even fall in love.  There is little else an author can do to improve on that.If anyone is considering getting this book I highly recommend it and if you can do it in the next 2 days it will only be .99 for this 2 volume collection.  That is an absolute steal.p.s. I noticed no major editing mistakes or "chopiness" in the story.
