Review: Dark and Gritty
Rating: 5 out of 5

I found Riddle in Stone to be an enjoyable, dark and gritty, no holds barred fantasy with an intriguing, all too human protagonist. Edmund could be you at the start, just an average joe. He's overweight, he stutters, and he feels like there's something more to life beyond his small world.In a desperate rush to become something grander and thus more attractive to the woman he loves, Edmund the Librarian sets out to recover an ancient artifact...I give Edmund (and Riddle) 5 stars for being human. He's not always likeable but he's real. In a world of fantasy, this can sometimes be overlooked or just plain forgotten. But not here. Oh, and I love you, Thorax!!
