Sorceress: The Dark Angel Chronicles, Book I

Rating:
Summary: A novel novel of excellent quality.
Review: In his debut work, Sorceress, Brian K. Stoner displays a marvelous ability to create origninal and engaging characters and a detailed world to house them. What's more, Sorceress does not sacrifice action in order to provide this depth, nor is it unfailingly dreary, as bits of humor pop out in the most startling of places. I realize that this description is somewhat vague, but I certainly don't want to present any spoilers. Well, maybe a tidbit... The world of Sorceress is the product of the combined efforts of a group of godlike creator beings who embody the nine Arts: Music, Shape, Image, Word, Color, Fragrance, Dream, Flavor, Movement. Trust me, this book is the start of a great story, and the second volume in the trilogy is already in publishing.
