Lady Tyressa Vishov has banished to Echo Woods, faced with the dim prospect of building a new township. Along with her introverted son and pining teenaged daughter, she must win over the locals, and avoid the many threats of the Wood.
I enjoyed this book, as I expected I would. Stackpole knows the fundamentals of novel writing, and the setting - whilst not the most febrile in the Pathfinder universe - is still enjoyable.
What really struck me though was how unusual it is to have a fantasy novel where a mother is one of the main characters, and family considerations are a prime motivator throughout the book. In sword and sorcery novels in particular, we're used to lone heroes striding through a hostile world, encumbered only by loot and regrets.
The change worked for me, and I love the idea of having adventures with your family, not in spite of them.
