Kingdoms of Light

Rating:
Summary: Not Very Original
Review: This sort of storytelling has been done and rehashed to infinitum. Give us all a break.

Summary: Typical Foster, but a bit slow
Review: When a powerful wizard is destroyed during a war, his burial ashes transform his pets into human form. They must then travel into a rainbow in search of white light, in order to break a curse placed over the land.

As usual Alan Dean Foster has a vivid imagination and manages to think up some very interesting and unique characters/worlds. His writing is good, and I enjoyed the characterization of the six animals. I found this particular story, however, to be a bit slow and continued reading the book just to finish it.
