This book was among the first five Faith-Fantasy series I read, and easily the worst of the lot. Not to say that it isn't good; it just didn't live up to my expectations after reading such amazing books as âDragonspell' or âLight of Eidon'. It seemed to drag slightly. This first volume of âBinding of the Blade' is a fairly good set-up for the rest of the series (which I have not yet read). It does have several very Lord of the Rings-ish names (Amman-Sul, Imlaris, etc.) which were quite distracting. It's main redeeming quality in my opinion is the amazing ending, which almost makes up for everything else. It remains to be seen if the rest of the series is better.
