Summary: One of the Best fantasies of the 1970's
Review: This book was published in 1979, a few years after the original Ballantine Adult Fantasy series had ended and right before the amazing fantasy fiction boom of the 1980's. As a result I've always considered this book a major transitional work in Fantasy fiction. The story of Cray (the son of the title) is a great coming of age story and shows how an author can create a Fantasy novel that does not require huge armies or huge casts of characters but focuses on a boy trying to find out something about himself. The love between son and mother is also heartwarming and quite a feel good. The writing is clean and descriptive with no false dialog or emotions. The ending is satisfying and touching (I love to re-read the ending). A book on a small scale that grows into a large wonderful read.

Summary: Amazing... Simply amazing...
Review: This is honestly the best book i have ever read. I had Pottermania for a while, but not anymore. I'm surprised this book is so underrated, because none of my fantasy/sci-fi friends have ever even heard of it! Trust me, it's absolutely wicked!
