There is nonstop action in this fantastic fantasy world that Taran has built for us. The magic system I found unique and interesting. The "soul bound" was an inventive way to have the characters interact and integrate themselves into the creatures of the world around them. The would building was so good. I'm so excited to see more from this series.
