Great book in a great series

Truly a great book based around a intreaging character. Who can belive that his greatest fear isnt death but something else.

Very good

This book was great! Mickey Zucker leads you on and you don't know what is going to happen or how characters are goingto end up! I thought the suspense at the end was great.. If your looking for a great read, then read the first in this great series. This is definetly on my Favorites list.

More than just sword and sorcery

I read this book about a month ago, and thought it was excellent. Although a little lengthy, it summed up the trilogy seemlessly, in a way that left me satisfied that the world wasn't going to be destroyed. Wizards and gods and the best swordsman in the world, what more could I ask for?I found out today. More than just a story device, the law vs. chaos battle is Ancient Greek philosophy worked right into the seams of a sword and sorcery novel. The need for balance, because both are nessecary for creation, all is evident in the Greek creation myth. Descartes also talked about it in his meditations, God, the Supreme Being, and his opposite, which he called "nought", the completely abscence of being. This novel shows that law and chaos are supreme, not good and evil which are mere constructs of law. Although Norse Gods are used, this is a mere detail, as the gods are all carry-overs from Greece, with different names.This is a wonderful story if you're just looking for a fun fantasy novel. But if you're interested, look a little deeper.

yayayayayayaya!!!!!

I love this book! I love the whole series! they are all pretty great! They keep getting better and better! I did, however, have one problem with it. Reichert keeps repeating things in this book. I think it's REALLY annoying! But I got over it.
