What ages would I recommend it too? – Thirteen and up.

Length? – A week plus.

Characters? – Non.

Setting? – The Celtic Realms

Written approximately? – 2003.

Does the story leave questions in the readers mind? – Confused.

Any issues the author (or a more recent publisher) should cover? Yes. With so many unusual names, there need to be maps depicting where these places are. I can't figure out how to pronounce them, or figure out where they are in relation to each other.

Another major issues, is time passage. For pages, it'll go on that "x" is the way to do things. Then suddenly, talking abut the same things, only "y" is the way to do them. It's as if the time passage headings were lost. So, perhaps one set of pages depicts 21100 ASD, and the jump to 300 AD is not clear to the reader.

Short storyline: Unsure.

Notes for the reader: You need maps, a dictionary, and more to comprehend this history resource. Best to study it while very young, when such things are easy to remember.
