J. Carey takes the classics bits of a fairy tale and turns it around and tells it from another point of view. Why would orcs and goblisn and such be raiding human farms? Because we stole the land from them to begin with. And the dragon? Protecting his mistress. Once you understand why any thinking creature does what it does, it is much harder to simply label it with the blanket Evil.
I've read this series twice and it made me cry both times because of it's raw beauty.
