Beyond the Veil Anthology - the world of The Guardian's Apprentice
It appeals to me that Keegan is not a one-dimensional goodie-goodie as a protagonist, but a troubled man who is both thrilled and frightened by the new world he finds and the new powers within him. He is also beset by fears and doubts, and has a temper that turns out to be both a blessing and a curse. As the quote goes: One person found this helpful. This is classic high-fantasy and I like it. Keegan is a little annoying throughout the whole book. I grew to like him more as the story progressed, but I still found that all the other characters in story were more interesting than him, by the end.
The depiction of time felt off to me. There were times when it took some rereading for me to figure out whether a little or a lot of time had passed in between scenes. Overall, though, I really enjoyed the story and will be reading more from this series. Radcliffe's self-published novel, The Guardian's Apprentice is the story of a middle aged guy finding out he's a wizard. This is no Harry Potter though, Keegan's education in the world of magic beyond the Veil is a trial by fire. Three trials by fire to be exact.
This is an action packed magical adventure complete with dragons, snarky cats, talking ravens and dark mystery. All in all this is a very solid fantasy. The world is well developed and we're quickly introduced to it through the trials and travels of Keegan, the main viewpoint character. The magic system isn't well defined, but it's pretty clear that it is the standard fantasy magic far with hexes and spells and incantations and whatnot.
The main character and his cohorts are well fleshed out, and though some of the supporting characters are fantasy archetypes. I was really surprised by a few twists in the story!
See a Problem?
I thought that I knew what was going on and then suddenly I realize that things got turned on me. Usually I either figure these things out, or the twists are stupid and arbitrary but after looking back I realized that there was a lot of foreshadowing for this one. It was really fun to be surprised like that. The only problem that I had with this one was that Keegan is taken out of his world the normal world so quickly that we don't really get a good impression of what his life is like before he's brought over.
There's a little too much telling and too little showing there, and it's all together too brief so that we don't get to fully see how Keegan changes over the course of the novel. We know that he's changing but we were only told how he acted before, we don't get to see it for ourselves.
Beyond the Veil Series
That was a little disappointing. But it didn't stop my enjoyment of the book! I'm in love with it and can't wait for the next in the series.

I'll be picking up his anthology of short stories set in the world; Beyond the Veil Anthology - the world of The Guardian's Apprentice. Tears for Hesh - I really almost cried for him. Such a sad story and sad ending. Does he really have to end here?? Scale of a Dragon- I read the story as a standalone and rated it separate This is an awesome set of three stories that tie into the Beyond the Veil series.
Scale of a Dragon- I read the story as a standalone and rated it separately-suffice to say I loved it and it is what got me wanting to read the rest of the series.

I enjoyed the short stories in this collection. They are beautifully written, dark and mysterious. My favorite of the three is definitely Scale of a Dragon. Callen is an endearing character and I look forward to learning more about her when I read The Guardian's Apprentice.
