I am 70 and have been reading  S Fantasy for many years. My granddaughter told me to read this series because I told her one day that  I thought S Fantasy was getting a bit to  much violence for me now. I lo ed  looks like spellsinger series. And she was right. This is a a very good series. A lot has go e into building the people and back  rounds. There is son violence but it's done in such h a way you don't mind. Yes I know it's written for one's my h younger then me but it's a breath of fresh air. I am on book 4 and still loving it.
