The language and the whole way the magic is used.  It is an integrated whole where you think this must have been real somewhere or at least a real fairy tale that some nation has been telling since forever.

That's not a very good review, Dan. Can't you give a bit more detail?

Simply speaking as a befuddled reader, what's this thread got to do with Flashing Swords confused

Well nothing other than it is a fantasy that I read right after reading "The Return of the Swords". As I was finishing up the review of "The Return of the Swords", I looked at the White Isle book next to me and thought, "..the people on this forum would love this book", so I popped a thread out here to share that.

Dan, you do know that SFReader has a ton of other forums, right? Fantasy Book forum, a 'Right Now I'm Reading' forum, etc. I don't recall you ever posting outside the FS forum -- check the rest of the place out if you haven't already, you'll like it!

Thanks, I do go to the Black Gate forum and the Sword and Sorcery one but I have not really checked out the others. I will troll through a couple of them soon.

I might suggest you write up a nice review of White Isle and maybe send it to Uncle Pete for the reviews section of SFReader.com (since this is, after all, a reviews site).
