I picked this up with no preconceptions about it other than the blurb written to describe the book as there were no reviews when I started reading it so I had no idea if I would like it or not. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised by how well written it was and by how captivated I became with the characters.The main characters, Will and Clare are very well done and their love story really got to me with all their doubts, flaws and insecurities. By the end of the book, I was really rooting for them to finally acknowledge their love for each other. The supporting cast of characters are all very well done as well and each seemed like a distinct individual rather than a copy of each other.The story itself is a unique twist on the typical fantasy genre and it was a nice change from the usual dragon, elves and dwarves.I finished the book late last night and had to force myself to complete it as it was so captivating in the last few chapters that I didn't want to put it down. The ending is epic and it is definitely open-ended and obviously setup for a 2nd book. I am looking forward to that book and will buy it as soon as it is out.....so hurry up and write it, Dan Avera :)
