review 1: was instantly drawn to Gavin Kinshield. There was just something about him, his murky and troubled past, his quick, gap-toothed smile and the mysterious surrounding his ability to do something he’s convince he shouldn’t be able to do. Plagued by dreams that lead him to the answers to the king’s runestones, Gavin has been secretly solving these rune puzzles, keeping the gems he plucks from the tablets hidden away and trying to figure out what to do with them when all is said and done. Because the man who solves the puzzles becomes the king, and Gavin Kinshield is pretty sure he’s no king.But a secret like that can’t be kept forever, and when Gavin risks himself to save a woman from nearly drowning, his well-kept secret is leaked from ale-plied lips and begins spre... moreading from tavern to tavern until it reaches the ears of the villain who would take the throne.K.C. May certainly knows how to tell a story, and now I’m anxious to check out some of her other books outside the Kinshield Saga. The characters in this book are well-drawn and realistic. They aren’t perfect by a long shot, and the little bit of mystery they keep to themselves makes them feel strong. Their motivations are clear, their personalities solid and their actions easily endear you to them, or make you want to stab their eyes out with a fork. The story itself was nicely woven, and as soon as I reached the last page, I wanted to keep going, to know what became of those who survived. That is definitely a good thing, where books are concerned, so I’ll be dashing over to pick up the second book in this series so I can start gnawing away at it while I’m working out in the afternoons.
review 2: This is a book for fantasy lovers. The world creation is fantastic, the characters are well drawn and believable because they are flawed just like the rest of us. Then there is the questions of destiny vs freedom of choice, which always makes for great dramatic tension. Gavin Kinshield is the reluctant hero, with demons in his past that only following the path he has embarked upon will lead him to his chance to heal. The book is full of magic and struggles between good vs evil. Once you start reading, you'll find it hard to put down. less
