This is a hard book to review!Maybe the hardest I've done.There are parts that I loved and a lot that was not.The story of Tarn, the witches,Tarns father,Gard,Molly are all worthy of a five star rating.This was a compelling tale wrote with the talent of a gifted writer.Then you have the higharchy,soul swords,monsters of varying degree,some sort of wizard being held prisoner for hundreds of years.For me a lot of this was over the top.I got lost in some of the varied story lines.There was SO MUCH going on that the story became all most to much to read!Mr. Saunders has a more complex word in his view then what I enjoy reading about.For me just too much going on.But this will be a very good book for fantasy junkies.The readers who love world building will give this book a cult following that will be second to none.I would only tell some one who likes very complex storylines to purchase this book.It seems to be just to hard for the weekend reader to get through.In the end I gave this a four star rating because I did not want to punish the writer for my short coming as a reader.I think this was wrote really well I just wish I had more understanding of the view of the complete world Mr.Saunders was giving.If he keeps writing I will keep trying!
