In this fantastical trilogy officially called a young adult trilogy the reader finds himself caught up in an epic series that create another Tolkien. However the monsters aren't evil. They have been around as long as the people of the half continent and don't believe they are lost. Rossamund Bookchild, orphan and monster slayer has had powerful forces ranged agaainst himseelf and Europe claiming he is a monster himself.. His origin may hold the key to peace, but is that what the powerful want.

This is a rich fantasy world, erudite and accessible and [enthralling]. Sometimes Y A, like Tolkien and C.S. Lewis is as much a part of the adult literature. This is one. Get the plastic out. ~~ Pam Allan
