This series is not as good as the author's Otherland series, but a decent read for those with the patience for a very extended story with good development of multiple characters.

Wow. This was a great story! It did take awhile to get into, but I'm glad I kept at it. The characters were nicely developed, and there were enough plot twists to keep me guessing. Perhaps my only huge issue with the book was how "tolkein-ish" it was... typical landscape, maps, characters on a quest, etc.

The first third of the book dragged, but it improved greatly. Think I will look for the other books of the series.

As war threatens to rip apart a once peaceful land, a young kitchen boy turned magician's apprentice embarks on a journey that could save his world from the dark machinations of a king gone mad. The author of Tailchaser's Song draws on many mythologies for the background of his fantasy epic, creating a solid story spiced with political intrigue and strong, appealing heroes. Highly recommended.
