Zaukul's Review
I've only read the first volume, titled Fall 1152, and it was good. The representation of the fictional society of mice was the strongest aspect of the book, with everything seeming very fully realized and immersive. There are also a lot of nice extras in the hardcover including maps and character sketches. However, the overall story, while entertaining, was nothing special. It was a rather standard medieval kingdom style adventure story with good action and characters, but nothing that really made it stand out in my opinion. This isn't one of my favorite genres, but I still enjoyed reading it, and I think that someone more into this genre would really love it.

Read in June 2009 and rated 3.
