Title: Nice change from the traditional fantasy style
Product review: I must admit, when i picked up this book, I thought it was going to be another Tolkien rip-off like so many books are now, but i was pleasantly surprised. I've not read the first book in this series, but i don't think the book lost anything with this. At a glance, it is a strange style that the author has used, deciding to write in the present tense, but is effective when you get the hang of it. The lack of deep themes and morals is made up for by some fantastic scenes and original ideas. The start does drag on, however, and the annoyingly-happy ending is a bit predictable. The poetry and songs in the book are quite good though, if you read them.
