Review: Pay attention--when this title says "Dark" Fantasy, it MEANS Dark.

Nevertheless, I found this to be a compelling read.  Well written and full of action, the plot weaves itself among characters who may or may not survive until the next page.  It almost seems like waste of good character development, but I must admit that it kept me on my toes.The author apparently has a grand scheme to unveil this epic quest further in upcoming books.  Although I found this to be a worthwhile read, I'm not positive that I'll continue the series.  Even though the Hero grew on me as this book unfurled, I'm not sure my bloodpressure can take much more.  If you love Elves, Dragons, Trolls, etc....and you like non-stop action-- have at it, as they say.
