Already? Oh, gosh. I've picked up quite a few books already before I even finished this book, so I guess I need to finish them quick to start with the second one. Thank you, Adanna :)

There were a lot of characters in this first book. It's normal if you don't recall them as you progress. Luckily, the author reduced the character-span in the subsequent books so you wouldn't have such difficulty again. Thanks for this review Jenny

I have also realized that Tysz's work tends to have an initial slow development of the plot, whose pace eventually increases and covers all the aspects that had been introduced before. Amazing review!

Latest Review: The path from backpack to briefcase 2nd. idition by R. William Holland, PhD

The author did push creativity to its extreme. This book doesn’t seem like your usual fantasy fiction novel, and all the reviews I’ve read about it are testimonies of the book’s extraordinary qualities.

Haven't read any negative reviews about Tysz' books so far, especially this series :)

There are so many points I'm seeing from reading your reviews. I bet the reason the uncle chose Galen was because he was the only heir left. Nice review anyway.
