I am not a fantasy buff but I chose to read The Seven Isles of Ameulas because I heard so many wonderful things about it. I'm glad I did. I was pleasantly surprised that Casey Fahy's 440 page novel is as much a philosophy of life as a fantasy. Fahy's wisdom comes through the narrative and through the dialogue.

Consider these:

"'Nothing gains easier passage to the heart…than that which is closest'"
"'I have the advantage of contempt, contempt for the crown that binds my freedom.'"
"The evil man cannot affect the aspect of a good man, however, in actions, words and appearance, without becoming a good man himself."

Whether the reader agrees or not is immaterial. The author gives the reader something to think about. This book is a lot more than just a darn good story and that is what I believe every reader should long for.
