All the characters in this book have very unique names. MCs - Celyn and Sjurd Gaaah! i can't express how excited i was when i saw the MCs names, they are unique. Maybe, when presented with such wonderfully-imagined fantasy that takes me back to my earliest public library wanderings- plus hot fucking-I can do nowt else but whine, and whine, and whine: If only because those characters-so charmingly-drawn-were never given time to really stretch their legs a bit and be awesome in their own ways before the ruthlessly forward-moving hustle of the tale left them far, far behind. Would this had been 300 pages longer!
