The Initiate Brother Comments
The Initiate Brother (Sean Russell)
Russell turns his considerable narrative powers to far east with a unique fantasy set in an Asian milieu. Plot, as per usual in a Russell novel, starts off slow, but more than makes up for this in strength of plot and characterization. The world he creates here is just so damn interesting. If you are in the mode for something different, check this fantasy duology out. These fantasy books will not dissapoint.
