Description

"Something is not all right with This Side, the alternate world where the guardians find themselves. Magic - or at least the rumor of it - is creeping out of Faerie at the border town of Ehvenor. And even though Jason Cullinane, son of the legengdary Karl, has not yet settled into his new role as baron, he and his companions cannot ignore the pleas of those they were sworn to protect. So when great sea serpents rise from the ocean depths, when livestock is swallowed whole by an unseen show more menace, and when wolfpacks suddenly have more in common with shapechangers than canines, Jason has no choice but to rise to the rescue with his inner circle of warriors - and challenge the forces of chaos before they gain a foothold in the human lands."--Amazon. show less

The Guardians of the Flame series really heats up with book 6 - The Road to Ehvenor. The focus switches to Walter - a cunning stealthy character that lives by wits rather than brute force and the book is better by that decision.

Interesting, page-turner and fun, this book really delivers.
This is not my favorite book of the series. For some reason, the whole trip to Faerie seemed contrived. This book didn't seem to fit in with the rest of the series, and there wasn't a lot of action, just a lot of travel and a little suspense.
Mr. Rosenberg died in 2011, thank you for all the great books.
2 1/2 stars, my least favorite character in the series becomes the narrator and main character of this novel, I'm looking forward to the final book in the main arc of the series. Really want to see how the author wraps this up.
