This was a quirky story. Bromar, the main protagonist, was definitely flawed and human enough to have one root for him, even if he wasn’t instantly likable. The fact that his own folley and outside agents conspired to make him unwelcome in the town he had been asked to help greatly helped to allow him to claw his way to being the eventual hero.
A nebulous, overpowering and nigh unstoppable evil lurking in the background gave every move or decision made an immediacy, while the reason for the evil was so foolish as to be utterly believable. We are our own worst enemies at times. Luckily, Bromar, although big and strong, wasn’t untouchable, and it almost meant his death. By the grace of his goddess, a satisfying ending of justice served was reached. |

I wish that FR would do more stories about low level characters, that's one of the things I enjoy about Ed's Knights novels. Maybe an anthology of short stories about low level adventures.
I would like that alot! |

I like that kinda thing too, its probably why I enjoyed City of the Dead by Rosemary Jones so much. Almost everyone in that book is very low level. And it still makes a fine tale. |

This little tale had a nice creepy feeling throughout and has a nice little "fake-out" making you almost assume the old one is going to be the undead when his pupil passes out leaving the prayer incomplete and his body uncovered.
And nice job by JJ with the thief....I really developed a strong dislike of her. |
