t took me longer than usual to read this book, but I felt that the author deserved a review. Sometimes they just need more.

The bad.
single quotation marks to mark off dialogue. It makes it really difficult to read. He uses a lot of British spelling so I think he must be from England or Australia. But, as far as I know, it is still grammatically correct to use double quote ".

He has many passages of dense prose that you must struggle through. I found those lumps, with paragraphs two pages long, jolted me out of the book and I found myself daydreaming while I read.

The growth of the protagonist, Isak, was too rushed. He goes from kid and then less than a chapter later he is a great war general, and in less than a chapter, the wise leader of his group. All the while having white eyes which makes him more tempermental, and inclined to growth spurts.

The good
The story was a fun one. A young man with white eyes destined to be the savior. His struggles as he grows, and some very humorous moments kept me reading.

If you are a big fan of epic fantasies I would say this is worth the read, but due to some very bad formatting and writing decisions I can't recommend it for the casual reader. I will be keeping an eye on the author though, as he has a lot of promise

The story, characters are excellent. I liked the book.
However, the spelling and use of the wrong word was on every other page. I just found it hard to believe that this book could get published without having someone proof read it first.
Loved the book! Characters were engrossing, world was well thought out. I would reccommend this to anyone who loves classic fantasy.
I always purchase the first book of a series on its own to read and see what I think. The Stormcaller seemed to have potential and was not a bad read, however it seems to lack some element that gripped my imagination and I am in no rush to read the next one. The premise of the book was fine, it is well written (unlike many fantasy novels available for ), it was a little bit different and it moved along quite well but just lacked some sort of the pzzazz for me to want to find out what happens next. The number of characters was definitely a problem and I found myself reading the character bibliography at the end to try and understand who was who. In fact maybe that is the problem...I finished the book and I have no idea what the story is really about or where it is going. Despite that I may read the next one, but only if it is going cheap.
Amazing series.
Poorly written, poorly paced, characters 1 dimensional. The world building and storyline could have been interesting, but this book did not interest me.
This book was great fun. I thoroughly enjoyed the characters and the world Tom Lloyd creates is rich... although it does seem to grow upon his random whims... but thats ok at first haha! Whoever said this series is up there with Erikson's Malazan series... is strongly mistaken.
Entertaining and novel characters, particularly I like the idea of a character fighting his own wild instincts.
Good pace and you don't get bored
Awful grammar sometimes. I guess it is an editing problem and I blame whoever did the review.
