Lord of the Isles

This was another book that was slow to start or maybe I wasn't really inerested because I was in the middle of another series. But as I got into it, it got better. Maybe it was just a set up book for the series.

It did have some obvious things that were apparent from the beginning. You just knew that the four friends from the same hamlet would have powers at some point. They go their seperate ways but you knew that their lives were intertwined and that they would be back together again. The usual struggles between good and evil are woven throughout the book, with a couple of mild twists thrown in. I liked the character Nonnis because he wasn't so black & white. He had done “bad” things in his past but was trying to do “good” even though his bad deeds seemed to haunt him.

Overall I will continue reading the series and look forward to traveling with teh characters again.
