Description
Said to have once belonged to the frost giants of a faraway land, the Truthsayer's robe is his cloak of office. Divination is never done without it. But when the seer's robe is stolen from his mountain alcove by brutal trespassers, Dalin, his young apprentice, must attempt to track it down. For without the robe there can be no Truthsayer. And there has never not been a Truthsayer, not in the long years since Kondanit first came down from the skies, delivered by the gods to divine truth from show more lie amongst the Ice tribes of Tura-kem. Or perhaps that time is coming to an end. show lessTags

I tried to apply the don't-quit-before-page-100 rule, and almost made it ... Just couldn't. If for no other reasons than the constant and aggravating head-hopping (again, so that's why it's frowned on!) and the outright thefts from Tolkien (characters named Berin and Dalin (close, but not quite stolen) and Mithlond and Thengel are both infuriating and distracting), I need to move on.
(Amy) We have cliche sign! Apprentice sees master killed before his very eyes, must SAVE THE WORLD. Plus there are elves. Whee! Yawn. (Caveat: I couldn't finish this. It was too awful.)
