A review by cavalary
First Truth by Dawn Cook

3.0

Nicely written, good atmosphere, but not my kind of fantasy. Way too small of an area covered, way too few characters taking part in the action, little magic in spite of what it promises at the beginning, way too few fantastic creatures...
All in all, a well written book that aims to be fantasy but doesn't really "smell" like true fantasy to me. Then again, it's the first of a trilogy; the next ones may offer more of everything and the series as a whole may actually be good, not just well written.
