This is a great fantasy story.  From the explanations of the mechanism of magic to the coming of age of a young wizard, the story is constructed on a stable foundation that is not necessarily action packed but certainly packed with thoughtful and thought provoking events.  Bryce, the young apprentice must learn his craft by trial and error when error can be deadly and he must learn to control his fear when fear had controlled much of his life. At the point where he is finally getting control, he is compelled to consider the needs of another. The unexpected twists and turns make it that much better. I read the first part of this story as an independent piece and enjoyed it enough to purchase the complete story. It's another story by this author that simply ends even though I could think of lots of things the characters could still pursue and endings that could be happier.  It's complete, I just wish there was more.  In my opinion it speaks to the quality of the story.
