Review title: The Eragon of its day
Product review: Can I wholeheartedly recommend this book? Of course not. But, reading it back in the late eighties, I was fresh off ofDragonlance(probably waiting for the next book in the series to come out, actually) and I hadn't readThe Lord of the Rings, yet, so I wasn't aware of how derivative this series was. For a fantasy-starved voracious reader who'd already racked up all the overdue library fines I could take, finding this book in a "give-away" pile of other mass market paperbacks was like a godsend. This book was basically theEragonof its day. A total hack rip-off of Tolkien, but for a young teen who didn't know better, it totally satisfied the itch for epic adventure.The Warrow are basically slimmer, shoe-wearing, jewel-eyed Hobbits with archery skills. Tuck, used to a quiet life in his small Warrow village, gets drawn in to a quest to fight the oncoming darkness and unnatural winter spreading over the land.Approach this like the fan-fiction that it is, and it's not a bad read.
