A fine, weekend read. Wrought in the same forges as the Lord of the Rings, the Summer Tree brings together the classic array of fantasy tropes, but surprises you with its richly drawn mythology. Despite the familiarity, there is a lot to be cherished in this tale of magic, political intrigue and prophecies. It's still baffling, though, how the five students find an ancient, alternate world immediately believable and comfortable.
