[Starseeker]

I've just finished this (it's book one). I could easily see how the writer manipulated the reader's emotions and I considered some parts where the characters were miraculously saved weak. Still that damned book engrossed me completely - to such an extent that I devoured it in merely a week, reading while eating and performing other tasks that definitely shouldn't be intertwined with reading. Anyway, I recommend it to anyone interested in fantasy and something not of the overly ambitious type, compelling, light-hearted and well-written nonetheless.
