I really enjoyed this book.
Asher is what you often find in fantasy - the ordinary boy destined for a Greatness. But I really liked him. He is smart, loyal, honest and bad tempered.
Gar is the prince. Gar realizes that Asher is exactly the person he needs. Someone who will be honest with him. Asher is not intimidated by the fact that Gar is a prince. Asher also doesn't look down on Gar because he has no magic. Gar is Doranen and Doranens do magic.But Gar cannot. Because of that he cannot be the next king and weather worker. His parents have his sister to be the heir.His parents have to get special permission to have a second child because the law is the King or Queen can only have on to prevent the devastation that happened in their history when the King's children fought for control.I found Gar a fascinating character. Viewed by many Doranens as a cripple he works hard for their Olken subjects who have no magic (or do they?) You get inside his head and his feelings.
