I really liked this book.At first I was hesitant about reading a book that involved the adventure of one person (I tend to like books that involve a band of hero's personalities) but I was pleasantly surprised at how I looked forward to finding out what happens next to Edmund.Everts has his own writing style. I felt like I was reading a storybook play. This play had unforgetable fantasy scenes and scenes that were not for the faint of heart.I enjoyed reading about Edmunds transformation from aRiddle in Stone is a well-written fantasy novel with a clever plot and a very original main character. Edmund is indeed a peculiar fantasy hero, stammering, insecure and constantly talking to himself. To impress Molly, Edmund one day leaves his secure and dull life to seek adventure. Why such a fat and cowardly bookworm abandons his regular village life is in many ways a mystery, but as it turns out, there is more to Edmund than meets the eye. As danger trouble and increase, so do his courage
I enjoy the reading not just because it is really good plot. It had all the ingredients that needed it to be a good story. Even if the main character is not the typical brave manly man hero.Edmund is a quiet, shy, stuttering and chubby guy which best like his readings.Actually, More of the scholar type of guy. He knows many legends, can speak and read in several languages, but in daily basis, he is practically good for nothing, seriously, not the typical fantasy hero. But one miserable night
You have to read this book! You will be on the edge of your seat and rooting for Edmond the entire time! He isn't your typical hero, as another reviewer stated, but the concept works! I really loved the plot (there is a nice love story in there, but I won't spoil it for others), and after I started reading this book I couldn't put it down. I am very glad I took a friend's advice and read this book. Prepare to be transported to a wonderfully imagined world with deep characters and an interesting
I will state that I very much dislike that Goodreads doesn't allow for half-stars, because my four star is actually a 4.5. I enjoyed the realism of the characters, and while sometimes Edmund's stuttering was slightly grating to read, it was true to his character and to some people in life, so I appreciated the attention to realism. The main reason for the downgrade of that half-star for me was that it seemed like Edmund spent so much of the story on his own and I did not really like all the
Riddle in Stone is the debut novel by Robert Evert. And what a way to make a debut! This is one of the best fantasy adventures I have ever read, and if the word fantasy puts you off, don't let it. Fantasy is not my genre of choice. But then we're not talking whimsical faeries and chipper little elves here.Edmund is our anti-hero, overweight, balding, with a nervous stammer, and a love of books, he's never going to be anyone's first choice as an adventurer. The only adventure Edmund has ever been
