Book Review: THE SORCERER'S KEY by C. C. Bye 03/18/2011
 Jack Lightfoot has a family history that makes him unique to our world. His father is a sorcerer from Eden, an alternate world to our own, and although Jack was raised on our familiar Earth, the sorcerer blood runs deep in his veins. When an Eden bounty hunter tracks down his family, hired by the high sorcerer Morgan, Jack learns that he holds the key to both worlds--and the power to take on Morgan himself. Bye offers an intriguing take on the classic hero's journey, meshing bibilical myth with Dungeons and Dragons-style sorcery to create a story that is as provocative as it is exciting. I enjoyed Bye's take on the Eden myth and its connection to modern day Earth, and the story's fast pace made it a quick read. His voice is strong, his dialog smooth, and with one exception, his style is flawless. I did find an overuse of "be" verbs, which was the only issue I had with this book, but it was a small fault to an otherwise exceptional story. I highly recommend THE SORCERER'S KEY to fans of high fantasy. It is a fun and adventuorous tale that readers will not soon forget. I give this work an enthusiastic four stars. THE SORCERER'S KEY is available through Amazon here. Comments03/18/2011 18:58
I enthusiastically support this review. I read Sorceror's Key close to when it came out and enjoyed it immensely. I posted a review on Goodreads and my blog. Marva 03/18/2011 18:59
I meant Sorcerer's Key. I made that same spelling error when I first reviewed the book. Can't seem to get that right! 04/19/2011 23:32
