Review: Incredible prose
Rating: 5 out of 5

I read this several days ago and needed some time to process it. I have never been so immersed in a world, and the author manages to do it in so few pages. Every time I had to put the book down it seemed to take me several minutes to get back to the "here and now." I was utterly transported - I could feel the breath of autumn moving through the trees, see the Herald dashing this way and that. In many ways, you are dropped into the middle of a tale. You can tell there is an intricate mythology that the author has created, and he slowly reveals bits and pieces as you go along. Not all is explained - just enough to tease you further, to draw you a little deeper into the story. This is not the book for someone that wants it all laid out. But if you like to wallow in masterfully written prose while enjoying some intriguing mythology - this is the book for you. Very highly recommended.
