Title: A fun tale
Review: I feel like almost every fantasy I pick up these days is a massive epic. Sara Douglass' Beyond the Hanging Wall was a joy to read because it was so simple.Without giving to much away: The story follows a doctor's son who must go with his father into the prison mines to tend the sick as an apprentice. But after he learns more about the prisoners and their treatment (especially one prisoner in particular), he must choose to act or let the evils of the world be as they are.The story's not too exciting, it's not too epic and it's not too great. It's just a good fun weekend read for just about any light fantasy lover.
