The Naming - First book in the Pellinor Series, by Alison Croggan

In FB lingo; "like"! This is the first book in a series that definitely reminds me of other fantasy series of the ilk, like the series by Terry Goodkind and the more kid friendly Eragon Series by Christopher Paolini. The difference in this series is the "chosen one" that will save the world is not a young, untested, flawed and secretly powerful male wizard. It is a girl. I had not felt slighted by the other heroes being heroes, but now that I've found a heroine, well, it is kinda fun. It is a longish book, mostly traveling around encountering good folks, and bad things, and you get a bit exhausted by all the travel, even if you are just lying in the tub. But I'm definitely looking forward to getting the second book in the Pellinor series and finding out what happens to Maerad, Cadvan and Hem. Love? Darkness? Adventure!
