Tony It's not stated in the book. Melissa McPhail has a gorgeous writing style that flows easily. I feel a little like a victim of a marketing campaign. It's quite a lot but we'll worth it once you get your bearings. Yes, we are told that he was instrumental in winning a major battle, but what he did and how it was better than what others could do Because I loved it, plain and simple. Trell of the Tides.

Their trials and tribulations will make you laugh, cry, and jump up and down in victory right along with them.
He is incredibly entertaining and versatile. He provides very witty comic relief throughout the novel; he's proud of his image as an incorrigible rogue, although this facade hides a heart of gold.
I definitely cephrals Ean's story to be a solid one and I liked being able to learn a lot more about the magic of the world through his and Alyneri's eyes. It also took three chapters to introduce a female character that wasn't lying supine with a nipple exposed for her man's pleasure and when she finally pops up she's an irritating 'rebellious princess' archetype.
Roan Loren is one of the fatemarked, but has hidden his mark of power his entire life, fearing the damage it might cause to those around him. I think it simply refers to the idea that Ean and Cephreals are childhood friends and trust and love each other as much as they would trust their own family members.
This is a long book that gives the buyer a lot of value for the credit. This first book has the first inklings of romance, but doesn't really cross into romance territory. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Cephrael's Hand? If you're going to quickly kill off a character, give them some sort of han so I feel for them, GRRM style! Kyrus discovers friends, lovers, and adversaries among the twinborn.
Actually downloading the next in the series whilst typing this Overall it is interesting but cephdaels great, I was into it enough to get to the end, but it was put down for several days at a time in between reads. Conspiracies and treacheries abound, and Prince Ean is mysteriously important to someone who wants him captured, but for what purpose? Pulled by magic and blood sacrifice into a world he can't possibly begin to understand, Kael Symes soon finds himself the focus of a Talohna-wide manhunt.
I guess most of my disdain for this book comes into play here. Other fascinating creatures are the Drachwyr, who can shapeshift into dragons, the Zanthyrs, who are also shapeshifters that can take different animal forms, Wildlings, Adepts of the third strand, who may or may not have supernatural abilities, and the formidable, very intriguing Shades, who seem to be part human, and part machine.
A sense of purposeful motion fills every page. This mostly felt like the setup for a potentially great series. The narration was great.

Because I loved it, plain and simple. There are so many things to love about this novel!
Soon though, Alan realizes the Game is anything but simple, and the stakes are higher than he ever imagined. With the books conclusion this wish may come to pass in book two.
I could go on about all the other cool aspects of the book the uand magic system, the various unique races, etc.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be? Also, there are great many people that seem to love this book, so maybe it just wasn't my shot of whiskey. I don't think the story is dark or epic enough to have a deep voice like Michael Kramer, maybe Tim Gerard Reynolds. Who was cepjraels favorite character and why?
Cephrael's Hand by Melissa McPhail
Soo sorry but I had to throw this one back and move on to a different book. It unfolds slowly and in directions you do not anticipate. This is the first one. But when a daring plan to unseat the Tyrant King goes awry, Roark finds himself on the run through an interdimensional portal, which strands him in a very unexpected location: I was happy listening to it as I was doing so in the garden or doing jobs - if I'd sat to listen to it, I should have got very irritated by the writing style and given up.
