Review: a good fantasy romp
Rating: 4 out of 5

The author created likeable characters and a fantasy story definitely worth reading.  However, I gave it four rather than five stars because my last nerve was frayed by the end, due to just one word.  The culprit is the word "smirk".  Someone should have told St. Clair to put a nickel in the coin jar every time he used that word and he'd no doubt be a wealthy man.  I am not joking.  the characters always,  always, always, "smirk"; they never gaze, look, stare, or any other characterization. I started counting the word but gave up along the way because of the volume of usage.  In the following book however, they both smirk and sneer. LOL  Anyway, a great adventure and younger readers will definitely love the storyline.
