an excellent introduction to a whole new world

Griffing puts a new, intruging twist on an old legend. In this book, he explores the culture that birthed Atlantis, and weaves many threads together, giving the reader a splendid and far reaching view of the society, without losing the intimacy of detail of a local. the story resonates with depth of truth and moral clarity that is so often lost in much of the fantacy genre. Griffing showes evidence of strong influence by authors such as J.R.R. Tolkein and C.S. Lewis in his writing style and the world view presented in the text. The plot is driven more by the characters than the characters by the plot, and the strong character developement, of several different characters from several different parts of society, allows the reader to see the culture as a whole, and not just have a singular viewpoint. all in all, a fantastic debut work in a genre needing a fresh, clean voice.
