Recommendationįor young talented readers, this series forms a neat bridge between children’s books and more advanced and complex literature. By the end, the reader is left bursting with excitement, desperate to share the joy of what they have read with someone else, and eager to move on to the sequel, Silverthorn. The plot moves on epically, with the threads of half a dozen or more stories intertwining.

But then the young boy saves Carline, the Duke’s daughter, from a violent attack. Pug grapples with magic unsuccessfully, and it appears Kulgan may have been mistaken about the boy’s talent and might have to let him go. At the last moment, and to the surprise of all, Kulgan, the town’s magician and confidant of the Duke, chooses Pug, having spotted a certain something about the boy. He is liked well enough but is small of stature and heartbreakingly when every other young boy is selected for a profession in a large public ceremony, he is left standing unwanted. A young orphan, Pug, aged thirteen, is stumbling upon manhood in a small seaside town. The characters and plot are real and believable, with the more exotic elements simply enriching the story rather than making it seem silly or strange. If you are not a fan of fantasy, fear not.
