Main audience is clearly teen boys. Does not pass the Bechdel test, but was still very enjoyable.

Technically a re-read, very well done, very young teen book, very male-dominated. Still itched the nostalgia, though.

I really enjoyed this YA fantasy book. I'm trying to get my son to read it, but he says he's not in to "lords and swords." :-( Going forward, I will refer to books like this as in the genre of "Lords and Swords" because I actually love the description.
