DESCRIPTION:
Dillon Mccardell said Complex and invigorating. This book is odd. I would describe its plot line as a stack of horizontal lines. As the plot slowly moves upward, you must also work your way horizontally through each line before you can go up to the next. This means the focus of the story progresses slowly, though the amount of character development is crazy.This book is so complex and has so much meaning t could be analyzed in an English class. I envy the students a hundred years from now that likely will.This book is written as if it is a . Read it John The series is a good read. My irritant with the series is that the characters keep asking others questions that the reply is along the lines of if they answer the question you will only get into trouble or things will get worse or you don't need to know. Every time the answer should be told, the person only figures it out anyhow and/or would have saved a lot of trouble in the first place. It gets very old by the second book. "I liked this book." according to Joseph Trinchillo. I really liked this book. It was not something totally original, but what is anymore. But, the writing and world setting was very good, and I feel for the main characters plight. Being shunned for something that you have no control over, not being understood, and then finding a group that accepts you are great themes.
Exiled by his family. Could his dark ability be the key to his salvation? Rsiran is a disappointment to his family, gifted with the ability to Slide. He doesn't want to be a pawn in anyone's ambitions; all he ever wanted was a family. There someone far more powerful than him discovers what he can do and intends to use him. Claimed by thieves. Forbidden from Sliding, he's apprenticed under his father as a blacksmith where lorcith, a rare, precious metal with arcane properties, calls to him, seducing him into forming forbidden blades. But the darkness inside him cannot be ignored - and he's already embroiled in an ancient struggle that only he may be able to end.. It is a dark magic, one where he can transport himself wherever he wants, but using it will only turn him into the thief his father fears. When discovered, he's banished, sentenced indefinitely to the mines of Ilphaesn Mountain. Though Rsiran tries to serve obediently, to learn to control the call of lorcith as his father demands, when his life is threatened in the darkness of the mines, he finds himself Sliding back to Elaeavn, where he finds a black market for his blades - and a new family of thieves
