Finished it last night, at 3:03:03. :cool:

It's good. Not great. But as Ian Graham's first book it certainly shows promise.

Set in a relatively regular fantasy-mediƦval setting, people worship the Four (enlightened beings that guide the dead to heaven, or something along those lines), under the guidance of an extremely strict, non-charitable Church, who rule the entire land of Druine. They've outlawed magic and any knowledge/history that doesn't fit with what they want people to know.
The story follows Ballas, a thief & vagrant, who finds an interesting artefact and manages to set the Church against him.

Overall, I think it's an interesting read regardless of if you're a fan of fantasy books.

considering you went to the trouble to make a new thread for this book you could have atleast mentioned the authors name somewhere in your post :rolleyes:
