“I have seen a *lot* of fantasy literature over the years, and I thought I had seen it all. I was wrong. This book, simply put, is a breath of fresh air.
I was fascinated by the struggles and issues that engage the characters. I have not seen these explored by other authors, and when I saw them that I found myself not only biting my nails to see what happens in the next chapter (which doesn’t happen very often), but also wondering how it was that the author could have put his finger so squarely on the mysteries that I struggle with in my own life. There are other sides to this book that surprised me, but after a hard day of work and hours with family, the real test is whether it can hold my interest or whether the fatigue will beat me to another day. I couldn’t put this book down.” by J. Kerns, professor of mathematics
