A fun fishing book with some memorable characters, especially Johannes and Ida. The descriptions of the locations is wonderful, and I felt like I got a good sense of the feeling of fly-fishing, even though I have never done it.
The 41st parallel is a nice idea, but it didn't seem very important to the plot. Also, the "Afterward" section is definitely not needed. In fact, I would recommend reading it first. I read it at the end, as presented in the book, and it abruptly took me out of the story and immediately killed the good fishing vibe I had when I finished the story. Not sure why it was put in there, except to further the point of the 41st parallel. Unnecessary IMO.
Apart from that, I enjoyed the book and will be looking to read more of James Prosek's work. Good stuff for a fisherman or armchair traveler. ]]>

I enjoyed this book, but not as much as the first in the series (Eye of the World).
As with most epic fantasy, there are simply too many characters, plot lines and detail.
