If you are looking for a quick and enjoyable read, look no further. The Prophet of Lamath creates a refreshing take on dragon lore and brings about laughs along the ride.

This is one of the best fantasy books that I ever read. Unlike the flood of TSR/Tolkien replica fantasy that came after it, this author spoke with an original voice and wasn't overly influenced by all the regurgitated ideas that have since become a staple. I remember that I kept looking back to the front cover in places, wondering if I were reading a comedy. But after a few pages I would be reassured again and again that it was a serious fantasy after all. It just had alot of quality humor in it! Great plot, great setting, great fictional kingdoms, well developed charactars, and a thoroughly enjoyable read!

Huges crafts an amazing story here. It's a little light in the same vein as Lawrence Watt Evans, but like LWE, this is a fantastic story and one that never got enough credit for being just absolutely fabulous. If you've never read a fantasy book, this would be a good starting point.
