The Baker's Boy (Book of Words Series #1) Book

An exciting epic fantasy!

This trilogy is a complex series of plot lines that all intertwine with each other forming a beautiful story. Each chapter bounces from one character to another as we learn more and more about them and the world they live in. The characters quickly become real and just as quickly I learned to either love them or hate them. Jack, the baker's boy, became my favorite character and I am very much enjoying how he is developing.

The writing is fantastic. Though this first book never really came to a climax it became obvious this was only the first part of a trilogy and I was reading an epic fantasy and needed to be patient. The complexity of the plot and depth of the characters makes it easy to just get lost in the story. The lack of a climax in this first book it the primary reason I didn't give the book five stars. I think I get what the author is trying to do but I still feel that some sort of climax is warranted in every novel.

I so can't wait to start the second book in the trilogy and see where all this is leading! So exciting!
