    <body><![CDATA[So far OK. The blur said something to the effect of &quot;best fantasy since Tolkien&quot; I should have known this was a bad sign. It's not the most original thing and it's pretty predictable. But I haven't just nerded out in a long time so it's nice to just have a long story to read. ]]></body>
