was so good. Razo, the main character, is one of those people I would die to be friends with. Well I wouldn't die but you know what I mean. He makes you laugh by what he says and does and just by looking at him. Who couldn't use a friend like that? He really struggled with who he is and never seemed to measure up to anything. But, as he matured and served his country, he found himself not necessarily fall into the mold of the other greats, but found that he was unique and as important a member of his community as the others.
Reading a book from a male perspective was fun. I haven't read any from a male point of view in a long time. Although a fantasy, the book has a good mix of mystery and adventure as well as a little romance.
And as I mentioned before, it was nice to pick up the book and the characters from where I last left them and to be able to read what they've been up to lately.
I'd recommend the Bayern series to anyone.

Thanks for putting book reviews on your blog. It is so nice to have an idea of a book that someone likes instead of just going and picking one off the shelf. By the way, I saw you yesterday at church but I couldn't get your attention. Hope all is going well with you.
Another male-character centered series is 'The Thief' series by Megan Whalen Turner. They are so good. And another YA fantasy kind of book I am reading right now also has a male main character and deals with understanding animals is 'The Princess and the Hound' by Mette Ivie Harrison (kind of a beauty and the beast twist). I never thought I liked fantasy that much, but who can resist a good fairy tale?
not me! keep your recommendations coming!! Right now I'm reading the kommandant's girl by Pam Jenoff. But, I'll be ready for a new set of books for soon.
