Rating: 3
Summary: Almost 4 star worthy
Comment: This is a hard one to rate. It's like the first novel of the Kngpriest trilogy. It starts slow but builds steam as it goes along.
There should've been parts in this novel to devide Tol's years. In one paragragh he's a kid, then in the next he's ten yrs. older. By the end, you're immersed in these characters' lives as with most DL novels & there's plenty of twists. Certainly good enough to make you want to read book 2.
Rating: 4
Summary: Here comes the Horde
Comment: This is a very hard to rate novel, part of me wants to give it a lower ranking, but I think it deserves what it gets. The main problem is that it is set over a long period of time, over ten years in fact. This causes a lot of problems. For one it suffers from Villainitis and there is no clear and present villain through out the whole novel only a few minor villains that really can never be taken seriously. Also because the "journey" in the title is a life journey and not one event the novel is broken up into different adventures and problems rather than one long quest. All these adventures allow, Tol, a farmer's son, to rise to greatness in the Ergothian Empire, right up to the side of the Emperor. He defeats wizards, rebels, and battles with the mysterious monster XimXim.
This is most definitely a beginning novel to a trilogy, it's leading up to the bigger story that is going to happen in the second and third novels. That being said, it does an excellent job setting that story up (should have probably stayed away from the classic Arthurian love triangle though) for what is coming. It is well written, has tons of action, a tad of mystery, and more magic than most. For those that love kender, a third of the novel takes place in the kender land of Hylo, so there are plenty of pesky kender. But still it was a set up novel, so don't expect it to be one full novel with another episode coming, it answers almost no questions, and if you can't go without them I suggest waiting until the second Ergoth volume comes out.
Final Thought: They named a monster XimXim, what's next WakaWaka?
