"The Book of Years" is began in "The Horse Lord". I would have to say it is one of my favorite books and series as well. Non-stop action, the wording of this tale flows smoothly and before you know it is time to get ready for work cause you just couldn't put the book down! I must have read the series over half a dozen times over the last 12 years! If you get lucky enough to find a copy, BUY IT!!! You will NOT regret it!! It is a great read!!!

About 10 years ago at the age of 14 I picked up this novel from Morwood, and put it down again a couple of days later after I'd done nothing else but read. Since that first hit I've been addicted to the Book of Years, and other Morwood spin-offs from this series. The pages on my poor old paperbacks are worn and tattered from so many reads (and the occasional accidental dip in the bath).

The story of the young warrior unfolds over the 4 books remarkably well. From the loss of his family we follow his adventures through dark and treacherous lands in the attempt to fulfil his oath and avenge his father's death. The plot is gripping, the dialogue wry and entertaining, and the characters well-developed. If you like your fantasy a bit more adult, don't just buy this book, get the series.

My copy finally fell apart and I can't wait for the entire series to be released in the 2 volume set. Definitely one of the best I've ever read.

I read this book so many times that many the pages are slightly torn.

I often think of this book when I think of a good, clean, high quality fantasy.
