Very interesting with different ideas and situations, but not sit-on-the-edge-of-your-seat. Still, I read all three books in the series. All in all, a good book (definitely better than average), just not one I would stay up all night for.
This is a typical "country boy realizes he is to save the world with magic" fantasy trilogy. I have met the author and he is a delightful man. Enjoy!
Below averarge fantasy...it appears to be the start of a series.
