Definitely Recommend-especially for Circle trilogy readers, fiction fans (recommend Circle first)
This, the first of four books supplementary to Dekker's original Circle Trilogy, starts off like a rocket and doesn't slow down.
It takes place in the other world during Red, if my memory serves me correctly. While Thomas is involved, we begin the journey of another set of characters with a daunting yet divinely important mission. Johnis, the young protagonist, leads three other rookie Forest Guard against the Horde, Shataiki, and... And it of course involves the Books of History.
Its a great start to the collateral stories. I wondered at times if it was going to be a plot that would rival the original trilogy, but it complements the main saga well. And, because it doesn't participate much in the allegorical theology to the amazing degree of Black, Red, and White, it leaves the Trilogy intact in their supremacy.
