Title: I can't believe anyone would give this 5 stars.
Review: Not only is the plot stolen, this guy just doesn't know how to use language. The strained pretentiousness of the dialogue and the irritating misuse of what he barely gleaned of "Olde English" while reading the Cliffnotes to Beowulf, made me stop every 5 minutes and think, "What am I doing reading this tripe?"I really don't know. Don't waste your time. If you're looking for classic fantasy, read Tolkien. If you want something slightly more modern -- though still given to purple prose -- check out George Martin. And if you want TRULY first-class modern fantasy, Philip Pullman's "The Golden Compass" should be first on your list. But don't bother with this.
