Review
From the beginning, this felt like a "Prince and the Pauper" story.
In this thinly contrived story, Lute, Crown Prince, and Griff, child of a poor falconer, come together to realize that they are twins. It is a bit slow, but will engage some who enjoy a slower pace. There are magical creatures, there is evil, and the characters do grow and become stronger as the plot develops. The ending is predictable and yet we are left wanting more story at the end.
Overall Book Score: good
