Re: The Forging of the Sword

Hoping to use this thread for a detailed discussion about this book Please can all who get involved in the discussion remember to mark any spoilers. As I am sure a few will come up



Possible Spoilers-















My first reflection will be on the first chapter. We're introduced to Demar when he battles a Dragon and finds the talisman.

Personally I felt very confused after this chapter, none the wiser as to who Demar was and what the significance of his finding was. The mystery of the talisman didnt concern me too much. However, I did feel I needed to know a little more about Demar at this point to get a better idea of how he would impact on the story.
This info didnt come later, after Calvyn was introduced and only through his story do we learn how Demar ended up wandering in the wilderness.

I'm wondering what others felt about this introduction to the series and to Demar?
