Title: A truly unique story....
Review: Gods, I love this book.... Simon never lets up, something I've noticed both in this and "Shadows Fall" - the characters are actually human. They're not caricatures of heroes and kings, they have fears and desires and dreams that are not those you might expect of their stereotypes. That, and they face absolutely overwhelming odds. Instead of a malevolent sorcerer cackling in his tower, the people of the Forest Land face a force of nature, and like all forces of nature this is something that cannot bestopped by conventional means. The interplay between characters is also something I love. Scenes with Rupert and Julia, or the Unicorn (like the freedom scene) or the dragon.... Very well written. I'm putting this on my own webpage for all to see....
