This mass was FANTASTIC yesteryear the destination but hence incredibly irksome for such a long time. I want similar crazy this had a amend start 2/3 but it actually didn't larn cracking until the lastly 100 pages or so. The destination was heartbreaking together with cathartic equally nosotros uncovering out just what Kevin did together with how he did it. Read it, but live prepared to abhor a skillful chunk of it. 7/30/2012 - OK here's the existent review later on I've had some fourth dimension to digest. There are spoilers inward this post.

It had its ups as well as downs, but overall was an entertaining read. There were only about high points, such equally the graphic symbol of Tusdar.

I also appreciated Vartan's graphic symbol development, but wishing at that spot had been to a greater extent than to it. There is cite of him grooming alongside the dragons, but no expansion of it.
