In my younger days, I was a big fan of fantasy, but I feel I've moved on and no longer enjoy the genre, or maybe the genre has changed, and left me behind? I was asked to review this particular book, and although I was a bit leery at first, I'm glad I did. This is the kind of fantasy that makes me remember why I enjoyed it growing up. There's plenty of action and adventure; swords and sorcery; politics and intrigue, but it's ultimately a character-driven story.
