Graymantle

Rating:
Summary: Graymantle
Review: I found Graymantle to be a traditional fantasy book, that starts off with a loveable character leading a simple life and turns into a hero that saves his country from a terrible plight. The author did an excellent job making the reader root for the hero and boo the villain. What sets this book apart from others that follow this staple, is the bleakness of the world that our hero lives in and how the author describes it in fastidious detail. The hero did not have an easy road to the top of the social ladder, and evil was not easily vanquished. It was this that kept me turning the pages in suspense wondering what would happen next.
