The review of this Book prepared by Lani




This excellent fantasy takes off from page one and never really slows down. The main character tries to discover his own name, his murky background, and who is trying to keep him on ice. It's a classic book that inspired a number of more modern authors and reads like greased lightning. I envy the folks that can read this for the first time.
