De Castell writes a New Fantasy, a world in which his characters can be whatever they want to be regardless of whatever and whoever stands in their way
De Castell keeps finding new ways to craft good stories.
The protagonists have their first great adventure, one that will test the limits of their beliefs and strength of character. A 16-year-old outcast, a fully matured woman world-wanderer along with a violent, witty, brave but small predator turned business partner set about fighting the forces of evil- from abroad as well as from within. This book has some of the most unlikely groups of protagonists you’ll find in the genre.
The best part of the book is the way in which the author explores other avenues. He does not exactly follow the traditional path of regular Fantasy, deciding instead to focus on the results of choices, the consequences of human actions, and reasons for human behavior, all the while on a yacht cruise of beautifully crafted writing.
De Castell writes a New Fantasy, a world in which his characters can be whatever they want to be regardless of whatever and whoever stands in their way.
The plot is as fast-paced as any De Castell book. There’s humor, exciting thrill, as well as unexpected twists.
A sweet read.
