Wishbinder

Wishbinder by Hayley Ann Solomon is one of the most delightfully imaginative books that has appeared in years. Wishbinder is a glorious account of a magnificent adventure, filled with suspense and seasoned with a quiet humor that is irresistible. Wishbinder is filled with elves, men, wizards, and servants that rivals Tolkien' ""Lord of thew Rings.""

Wishbinder transports us from earth to Elvenswolde, where the Wish Maker, Ram³n, oversees the business of wish fulfillment. A dark power has risen that seeks to overturn the existing order and weave malice into the intricate balance of enchantments. Septimus, the seventh son of a seventh son, a half elf raised on earth, must now fulfill the prophecy to restore equilibrium. Aided by the help of a hatchling dragon that matches his remarkable propensity for trouble is double trouble indeed and hilarious to read!

Like Tolkien, Ms. Solomon is an expert at her craft with an intimate grasp of history, so her story echoes with depth that adds a believable aspect to her writing. No fiction I have read in the last ten years has given me more joy than Wishbinder by Hayley Ann Solomon. -Orotund
