Late last night–well, actually, very early this morning–I finally had a chance to start reading Prodigy of Rainbow Tower, by Charles Yallowitz. So far, it’s been as rewarding a read as I anticipated it would be.

Here are the parts I’ve enjoyed most so far:

• A pocket cabin. I want one!
• An exciting fight scene in the gardens at Rainbow Tower–I heard the crashing and the roar of fire and the wood breaking during this scene. It was VERY well done.
• Everything about the character named Nyx. She is a real firecracker.
• Four moons that slink behind clouds over a river…such beautiful imagery!
• Two very intriguing fight scenes in a city called Rodillen–one on the rooftops, and one in the thieves guild.  One quick comment here on Charles Yallowitz’s writing–he really knows how to write interesting, detailed fight scenes that include the setting and dialogue as well as action…
