We live in an age of over-saturation of everything and fantasy is one of the genres affected...luckily, Rob May manages to create a dynamic world that largely evades the cliches of the genre. The world building is good and solid while also not taking you out of an engaging story... this is a first in a series and we start a journey that is sure to take us to places unexplored. There is a sense of wonder and excitement lacking in many of the works of today and I am looking forward to continuing the quest with an engaging cast of characters in a world very much worth experiencing and enjoying.I also enjoyed the fact that the novel was not too long as the modern fantasy genre books tend to be...you really don't need a three hundred page introduction to start telling a story.
