It took me until close to the end of the book to figure out who was on the cover, and I’m still not completely sure of myself. At first, I thought the illustration was careless with details, but that didn’t seem likely. I think I’ll have my suspicions confirmed while I’m reading the second book in this series.

This is great fantasy. The thing I love most is that there are two storylines. One of hunter/gatherer type people. One of city folk. It takes 660 pages before they meet. Then the second book starts. Epic fantasy rocks!
