From the outset I was drawn in as Talen embarked upon the noble quest of finding his pants.
All I could do when I read that was think of when Game Informer made fun of the Legend of Zelda video game series by saying the next one would be called the Trousers of Destiny and it showed Link standing there in a pair of boxers. Pretty funny.
...but I'm also not 17 anymore, and have a 5 month old baby, so I can no longer base the quality of a work on how late it keeps me up at night.
I feel that with my 10 month old all the time.
Final Verdict: 8.5/10. A fresh new voice in fantasy is always welcome, and Mr. Brown's epic will undoubtedly claim its place on my shelves, right next to those other people I like enough to buy. A solid mix of humor and heart-wrenching sadness combine with plenty of well-done action to produce a novel that new readers as well as experienced hands will enjoy.
I may have to check it out sometime. Sounds pretty good.
Kirk: Spock, you want to know something? Everybody’s human.
Spock: I find that remark…insulting.

Quality review. There are also two episodes of Writing Excuses with John Brown on their website. *NM*
