First off I have to say I enjoy the story which have some really interesting ideas, and I will read book 3 as well when it comes out. There are some old and some borrowed ideas, and prolly some blue somewhere. But its a good enjoyable story. Targeted towards the young adult crowd, but can be enjoyed by adults alike. But its a nice simple story a la Eddings, but do not expect epic grim fantasy like Eriksson. That said the book suffers under being published independently (I assume), and could really have improved if a good editor had been over it. Hopefully this will get better as the author gets more books written. I know it can be hard to get the fast pace in story (which is good here) without forgetting the realism of the story (which is the problem). Ghart makes friends very quickly with people, and often its simply so fast it looses all credibility. It could probably work for one or two people, but its pretty much a constant issue with each new character, they meet, and next day they act to each other like year old friends....Again a promising author and I will keep reading, but I really hope for a good editor for book 3.
