Peter Beagle writes this book as though it's been retold from ancient legends, and yet makes these characters feel like real, flawed, and very alive people. The three protagonists-Nyanteri, Lal, and Lukassa-along with the innkeeper's stable boy, are all struggling with their personal demons while trying to figure out what has happened to Nyanteri's and Lal's wizard mentor. What I like is the blend and balance of agelessness and contemporary tales and people.
