5.0 out of 5 stars The Ballad of Sy Black, January 31, 2003
This review is from: The Ballad of Sy Black (Paperback)
The Ballad of Sly Black is a wonderful page turner. You never knew what was going to happen around the next bend. That made it really hard to put the book down. You just wanted to keep on reading about Sy. The erie descriptions of the land and of the people are not to be missed. This book really makes you think... What is Fate? Do we really know? Well, buy the book, read it and find out about this author's unique view on this subject. You will not be sorry you did!

This review is from: The Ballad of Sy Black (Paperback)
Mark Early's first try at publishing is a very unique story. It's set in a middle world where Sy Black has been tasked by Fate herself to protect the border between the living and the dead. An easy read, this story is fun, a great short story even people who don't read this genre could easily enjoy this book.
