Review: Excellent books---gives Tolkien a run for his money!

A dense storyline, full of wondrous places, characters and subplots, you will be entranced from the first page.  A warning though--there's a lot going on, and you may find yourself re-reading sections and taking notes.  Be prepared, its that good!Mathias has a cinematic, vivid writing style that forces the brain to visualize the sensory descriptions.  It's immersive, and really places you into the story, as if you were there. All 3 stories stand up as fully functional independent stories, but also as separate parts of a greater whole.  Mathias is truly an underrated genius whose success will be a surprise to no one when he blows up.The comparisons to Tolkien may be lazy and obvious, but they are also a compliment of the highest caliber.  The books, the characters and the storyline are fresh and original, nothing like Tolkien, but if anyone could take the torch From JRR and bring Fantasy into the next milennium, it's Mathias.Highly recommended.
