I received a copy of this book in exchange for this review.Our story begins in a magical place where Turl rushes to show his Master what he has created. I really enjoyed the story beginning like this. It's as if we are opening a door in the middle of a dramatic event. This technique leaves the reader wondering what is going on; what is the significance of the orb and where is the story taking place? Our choice as readers... Keep reading!The next part of our story deepens the mystery. We met a pair of ugly goblins, Kos and Tuk, who happen upon a knight passed out on a river bank. Being the opportunist all goblins are, they decided the knight is worth more to them than the prize of his weaponry and decide to return him to Havenbrook. The knight doesn't know who he is or where he is and thus the adventure starts.I really enjoyed this book. It's well written and entertaining. I found the characters captivating and although set in a fantasy world, realistic. I enjoyed the accents of the goblins in particular and found the descriptive passages added to the depth of the story. Sometimes the wording was a little stilted but I don't think it distracts from what is, overall, a great story.I highly recommend it.
