Ew 1: Ways of Magic

this is one of the greates blending of fanisy in to the current dayes and the way the writer mends the elven ways in to the belives of curent riligion is amazing. the chaters are beliveble as much as many people can belive and the beliviblity of it comes from the way the chaters identy is part of what they are striving for.

Although this wasn't near the first book I read it was the first book I read over and over. This book mixes religin, magic and growing up all in a great story. I have read books from Ian Flemming, Stephen King, and many others, But Scott Ciencin is by far the greatest. He has a way of describing things that allows you to visualize what is happening. And the things you are visualizing are amazing. I loved this book and recommend it too people of all ages.

This story is truly something you can enjoy as you read it. There are many books about teens growing up, and quite a few of them are fantasy, but this book also involves the elements of magic and religion to make the story more varied and intricate. It really compels you to read the rest of the series.

Scott Ciencin has outdone himself, this book pales even Piers Anthony. Despite the obvious fiction it takes a suprisingly indepth look into human emotion. A good book that you wont be able to keep your hands off of.

I think that this book holds great promise. It may not be the best fantasy ever writtem=n, but it still is a great book, and a well rounded plot.
