Maybe felt a little too close to being a LotR knock off, but I'm intrigued enough to complete the trilogy, I think. I really enjoyed Flick and Panamon's character growth the most. I don't love the all-knowing-mystic-but-refuses-to-answer-questions troupe. That character is guaranteed to annoy me and Allanon was no exception.
