Review: the price of great power

This fantasy adventure shows a bit more development of the characters than most, as they grow into their roles.  Each has a different part to play.  The villains even undergo some development.  Ultimately the book is about the great price whatever this planet is (very Earth like) has paid for exercising great power without restraint in the past, and the heroes and heroines must resist temptation and fend off those who cannot resist.  It is both entertaining and enlightening.  It's true as other reviews have said that the author obviously begs a sequel, and I certainly hope he writes one, but it does reach a satisfactory conclusion.
