It does start a bit slowly, stick with it, cause when it takes off it will grab you! Well done to the author for such a compelling story. I cannot wait to see what comes next. Simply brilliant!”“It is good creative writing without resorting to excessive violence, gore or sex. (Useless, overused tricks). I’m 71, retired and a veteran of a lifetime of reading fantasy. Most plots are derivative from earlier works, but creativity and writing skill make the old formats fresh again. It’s nice to see that there are budding Tolkien level writers publishing. I’ll certainly buy the sequels.”“Very enjoyable story and easy to read. There were times I couldn’t put the book down until I got through a certain event. Definitely a must read. Look forward to the next installment.”"I’ve read [The Crafter's Son] and it’s terrific! [Berg] writes beautifully and, if you love epic fantasy like he obviously does, you will love the story line. Eddings meets Tolkien with some Tad Williams influences as well."“It was a great book. Can't wait for the next. Had me hooked from the very beginning. A must read!”“The author does a fantastic job of putting you in the life of the characters rather than simply observing them. The storyline is intellectually stimulating, which was refreshing in a fantasy plot, rather than a passive narrative. I’m anxiously awaiting the next book!”“Mr. Berg lays a solid foundation for a more and more intriguing story. Each of the characters slowly fills out until you are well and truly hooked. I'm eagerly anticipating the next and what will, I'm sure, will be one of my favorite series.”“Great story and interesting characters. I can't wait for the next book to come out. I love reading a story that is easy to read and hard to put down.”“Wonderful world building and characters that comes to life. I can't wait for the second book to follow along in the journey!”“This book exceeded my expectations. As in any great book the plotline is important but, the character development is key. I look forward to visiting these characters again.”“I am reading this book to my grandkids who were enraptured. It has all the elements of a great fantasy. Good versus evil. Brave and daring young protagonists and an interesting plot.”“I read a lot of this type of book and really enjoyed the world the author created. Very believable. As mentioned in another review, this book is mostly a beginning to a longer saga. But a very enjoyable beginning. It was well written and well edited. . . . Looking forward to the next book in the series. I would recommend this.”
