Cunning book to
Ever know what
Really happens to our three (or possibly four) heroes.
If I were to give this book a one word label, it would most likely be Different because it just is! Compared to other fantasy novels, it has a lot more religion involved, the antagonist wasn’t really anyone special like a king or wizard; he was just an old, white-haired man who wants limitless power. If that doesn’t motivate you to think it's different, then I simply don’t know what else to say!
