Title: A detailed epic novel
Review: SOEV is an epic story that takes influences from fantasy and japanese anime and successfully combines them into a read that's hard to put down. The level of detail that goes into the characters, places, and events is excellent. Specifically, the focus on character development is very deep, and you'll know each of the characters well by the conclusion of the book. The buildup of the plot is very traditional and follows an ever-growing band of heroes on an epic quest - any fans of epic fantasy and/or anime will probably enjoy SOEV.I know James and have read the beyond the second book. It only gets better - if you've read SOEV book 1 and liked it, I would definitely recommend purchasing book 2 when it's published.
