Review: Spellmonger

Spellmonger by Terry Mancour
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an exceptional first book in a series. This writing has made me a fan of Mr. Mancour and his story wrapped around the social injustice that is the common norm for the society that Min has been raised. The function of magic and the code of chivalry seem at the beginning to be at odds but Min brings all of this to a head as he alone is able to stand against the Dead God and his minions. Through his trials we see the beginnings of a great mage in the works and his tongue-in-cheek approach to life is a wonderful diversion to the real world that we live in. An excellent read and a spectacular world to get lost in. Great job Mr. Mancour, as of writing this review I am finishing up Book 3 in the series and will be updating my reviews. Love this story and love the characters and their interactions through Min's point-of-view. If you love High Fantasy, a well written story with very few editing errors, and well placed comedic interludes, than this is the opening opus that you need to read.
