Review: Good start, but a little thin...

Amber Magic is a good start to a series, but it was a bit thin on the details. The blurb on the Amazon page described a whole history to the world, but I didn't really get that whilst reading. There were several confusing moments when the author assumed I would know something and I was forced to either reason it out or to go on hoping things would be explained soon.However, I must say that I thoroughly enjoyed the read nonetheless. There is plenty of action and mystery, romance and mistrust to be had. As the first in a series, this book gives little away (part of my frustration) whilst setting the stage for greater and more epic struggles to come.Overall, while this was a good read, it felt like what it was: an episode in a longer story and nothing more. For 99c, I can forgive this, as this book is really a teaser into the rest of the series. As long as you go into this book expecting to end with more questions than answers, you should be OK.
