Unforgettable Characters, Timeless Story

After reading this book, I have fallen in love with Landon and Anne. This author has a real talent for vivid images. The picture of Landon catching a glimpse of himself in the taxi window as he first arrives home and of Anne's dark black hair, flecked green eyes, and mischievous smirk have stayed with me ever since first picking up these pages. I also find myself haunted by the descriptions of love, war, hope, and reality that this author has brought to life. Once you experience these events with these characters, you will never forget them. A timeless story, people will refer to Landon and Anne for decades to come as metaphors for the deep, deep costs and long-reaching effects of war on all aspects of society.

Perfect

I'm reviewing this book about a year after reading it, but don't worry, I remember it very well. I still glance through the pages to read parts, because they're so good. Of the three books, the latest, Mercy of the Sword Saint, is the best, and the first, Origin of the Sword Saint, is a good read, but it's hard to enjoy because of the large amount of typos. But Quest of the Sword Saint is a masterpiece in it's own right. While it's perhaps not as mature as Mercy, it has a continuity and artistic genius that ties the whole piece together extraordinarily well. Origin of the Sword Saint feels more like a drawn out writing excersize: Quest is the real deal, a matured and talented writer exploring his abilities. The action of the novel is gripping, and the characters are brought to life with in-depth character psychology, allowing the reader to experience different view points and come to sympathize with the characters. Really, really, really great book, and if you read it, you won't be disappointed. Especially fans of series like Dungeons and Dragons, Dragonlance and Greyhawk will love this series. I loved it, and so will any fantasy enthusiast, or lover of literature in general. Buy!!!!!

Great read!

I love the creative idea of this book! Not only is the writing superb, but hearing the story and emotions from two sides in this manner really made me feel for the characters. Great find!

One of the best book I have read in recent memory

I was a little hesitant when I first picked this up because I thought it wasn't "my type" of book. However, when I started reading this I got engrossed by the well developed characters and the interesting storyline. I don't read much fiction but I just buzzed through this book. Recommended.
