Amazon review:

This is the first book in the Isles of Glory trilogy. This instalment reads very much like a typical fantasy adventure novel played out by the dregs of society in the islands. Blaze Halfbreed is the character who narrates this instalment of the series as what looks like a reasonably minor problem with magic and an escaped Princess escalates into something which may destroy all the Isles - if anyone with power will believe that the problem exists!

I have read this entire trilogy and I would have to say that the first book is in some ways the weakest in the series, relying as it does on extended action scenes in places. However, by book 2 you realise how important the events described here are. They reverberate throughout the remaining 2 books in unexpected ways.

All said, this is a refreshing and very original series that turned out to be much better than I expected and has become a "keeper" in my collection. Highly recommended to lovers of fantasy.
