The Shaman

The Star Stone #1

by Christopher Stasheff

The Ulin are the Elder Race--tyrannical giants who rule their human subjects with terror. When they cause the death of his wife, Ohaern vows revenge, and leads the ultimate revolt of humans against their godlike oppressors. With this first in his series, The Star Stone, Stasheff proves he's got plenty more spellbinding tricks up his sleeve. HC: Del Rey.

[Vickie Noble · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book had a great story line and really good main characters. But the writing sucked! I was very disappointed since I love fantasy books. This is the first of a trilogy so, down the road, I may go back and finish reading, but I don't know!

A more straightforward good vs evil story than the author’s other works.
