Fantasy. World with humans, elves, dwarves. Moredhil (evil elves). Main character: Pug, orphan, now Magician's apprentice (gee!) and his friend Tomas.
Men arrive, strange men on a strange ship. Only to fight. Parallel worlds. Invasion of the evil, strong men.
Ends with a strange fight: evil men attacking in the night, falling back every morning, seemingly without sense. Then suddenly they fall back..
And only then, at the very last pages, the hint of a larger story (a Game, politics, in the parallel world of which we know yet nothing) takes shape.
Not bad, but, particularly in the beginning, very very predictable. Written okayish, but I kept thinking and comparing with Robin Hobb, at not in favour of Feist.
Might read the next volumes, but only when I want something easy to read.
