Another good read by an amazing author. In this particular
story Dalin, the titular apprentice, is stranded on the mountain when his
master is murdered. The villains also stole the magical robe that was the proof
of office of the Truthsayer calling it something else. Teaming up with a group
of three elves and a dwarf, who are also interested in the robe, Dalin sets out
to avenge his master's death and regain the robe.
An interesting aspect of Christian's writing is that she
varies between the protagonists' and the antagonists' point of view. This way a
reader gets a fuller view not only of the world but why her antagonists act the
way they do. Personally I considered this slightly ingenious. Their motivation
was not just because they were bad.
