1-21-09 A Darkness Forged In Fire by Chris Evans - Fiction

4 - The first in a new fantasy series, Darkness adds a freshness to the genre. You have the good, the bad, the good that was tainted to be predisposed to be bad, and the bad that was originally good intentions. Then you have the trees and nature which are also good, bad, or tainted. The characters are interesting, a lot of them being more than they appear, and their personalities grow as a new curse/bond becomes apparent. You have a naive prince, military brotherhood, and politics out the wazoo. I look forward to the next book.
