  • WOW!!!

    This is one of the best books that I've read in about 25 years. Once I started reading this, I made sure that I got the 2 sequels to it before I even finished this one. I don't think I've ever read this type of book before - I'm not sure what genre it belongs to. Fantasy? Novel? Whatever, it was absolutely fantastic! I'd love to find a lot more books that are as good as this one was.
