Hmm. Umm. Interesting enough to read, more for the deliberately archaic and stilted prose than for the plot or characters. I got a little tired of how everyone who came near the main characters fell on their knees and worshipped them, even before they drank from the well.

Knights Errant and damosels aplenty, quests and bad guys and all that good stuff. I enjoyed it, but likely would have done so more had I not recently finished another of Morris' chunkster fantasy novels. Moderation in all things, and all that.
