A really good read. I read it straight through and enjoyed it every minute. The conflicts between the different factions and their resolutions are the keystone of the story line. The idea of doing what is right is prevalent throughout. Good prevails over evil all the time. It would seem that the ending of this story suggests further adventures and I look forward to reading what they may be. Thank you for the good read” by Amazon Customer
