Be prepared for a full-blown launch into a fantasy realm loaded with magic, monsters, courageous acts, and a dash of sweet romance. Jim Melvin doesn't describe cities, towns or villages as simply routine environments. He creates Worlds, multiple worlds and grand, complex cities within. The twists are unexpected and leave you glorious knots. The amount of characters and personalities is a buffet. Truly, you cannot speed this novel.
