For a while now I've been looking for a new epic fantasy series to absorb me. After finishing Hunter's Oath I have a hope I just might have found it.
In the beginning, getting introduced to Stephen and his struggles,this seemed like just another run of the mill rags to riches pawn of prophecy tale, but then enters Evane with her almost malazan-esque story. I'm eager to start reading the next book, and hope the plot will thicken, broaden and spread!
I've read innumerable stories of teenage boys with rough childhoods growing up to become monster killing world saving heroes. A time jumping age shifting sorceress, on the other hand, that's refreshingly original!
More Evane, less Stephen, please!

There's really nothing wrong with this book that I can specifically point to, but there is an atmosphere to it that strikes me as cheesy. West isn't writing the same old fantasy novel, but there's something that's just plain goofy about this book. It's probably just me.
