the story is well written, flows nicely, has acceptable charaters. so why didn't I like it?  because of the "psychology" of it. for lack of a better word anyway. I enjoyed the first part of the book. I questioned how the hero could make a decison on two pieces of evidence, er assumptions. I was hoping that there would be a twist to the story, that he discovers he is wrong. but no, the story unfolds in standard young man becomes a "hero" and in this case decides to "rid the world of evil". To do this he becomes a  murderer. the auther leds his hero slip into the learning tower of the mage, plotting to kill them all. He developes the doomed characters, hints at a big evil plot that killing these people will disrupt at little. So of course the hero kills them all.  What kind of moral lession to youth is this?  What does your story say, except deceive and murder?  pretend to be someone you are not, and then stab them in the backby the way this is NOT anywhere near Tolkn or Feist.  there is a lot more depth in Tolkin and Feist and other major authors. and never do they encourage youth to be deceivers and betrayers.Art many times exposes the true nature of the artist... beware of this one...and not reading anymore by this author.
