This review is written by Nic's wife.Decently written, and a fun fantasy story. There were a few leading things to the initial setup that felt heavy-handed to me, but not enough to actually prevent me from engaging with the story. I wasn't as thrilled with the second act, when Kate's verbose weakness became overwhelming, and there was one plot element that I kept waiting for one of the characters involved to question it further. Fantasy's usually got its twists and turns, though, so sometimes you just have to look at the overall journey, rather than any given moment of it.It could use a proofread- there were enough missing words, extraneous words or quotation marks, or missing quotation marks to slow me down picking apart what was intended. But it was definitely worth the effort. I'm not as huge a true fantasy fan as I was in my youth, but that's mainly because I found a few great ones that no other entry to the genre could compete with. I might have to give it another try, though, because the Trials of Hallion definitely whet my appetite for more fantasy.
