I classify this as YA, because the characters are young teens, and the writing seems geared toward a younger, simpler audience. There were a number of things I liked very much about this book and other things that I didn't like. The things I did like had to do mainly with interesting inventions and details about the world (e.g., there are talking seals in this world, and I liked them very much; dwarves are also very interesting in this world--their nature, creation, mode of life are all very cool). The things I didn't like had to do with elements of plotting and things relating to fantasy tropes, and part of it is definitely me as a reader and not the story at all. The novel did make me *think* in a good way, though. I'm curious about the sequel and concluding story and will eventually read them.

Reiffen's Choice is the first book in a trilogy about innocence and struggle that can only be compared toEragonand theInheritance Cycle,The Once and Future King, and Raymond E. Feist'sMagician. It will be an experience you will never forget. Reiffen, only twelve years old, is the true heir to the thrones of both Wayland and Banking. He and his friends Avender and Ferris live in a magical world of talking animals, dwarves, and shape-shifting bears but...he lives with the shame of knowing that no one will ever let him rule these kingdoms, that their crowns will bring him nothing but betrayal and sorrow...and that he is powerless. Reiffen will have only a short life of child's innocence, a brief respite from the trial of impossibleadult responsibility, the trial of attempting to finish a task he can never complete. And then he is shown the nations of his world from the peak of a fortress drear and tempted with fame and fortune and his rightful place on the throne of great kingdoms-hiskingdoms. He need only surrender his humanity; kill his loves and he would have his childhood fantasy. He would be granted great Black knowledge, more furious than anything he had ever imagined. He could desire justice...but would have to kill everything he loved to get it. His prayers would be answered...if only he would sacrifice everything he held dear.

I wish there were separate stars for good writing and for positive or negative reader buttons being pushed. This book has evil wizards, dwarves, and talking animals in a pseudomedieval setting. I fear that my personal reader buttons are pro-wizard, anti-pseudomedieval, and I'm apparently dwarf-neutral at best. I also apparently like talking animals (especially talking shmeerps) less than I would expect. ( )
