The writing trials of an introspective hermit.
"In the writings of a hermit we always hear also something of the echo of desolation, something of the whispers and the timid gazing around of isolation; from his strongest words, even from his screaming, resounds a new and dangerous kind of silence and concealment."- Nietzsche

The Warded man- Peter Brett
The Warded Man
by Peter Brett is an interesting novel to say the least. It starts off a little too slow for me, so I read a few books inbetween, but once it gets going it draws you in. This is not a story about someone 'Chosen' for great deads, rather it is more like a story of Becoming... how these three characters became what they are at the end and how they came to be that way. In a way that seems to be the main theme, although the plot had to do with overcoming the demons that rise from the earth every night to eat anyone that is not safely behind wards. And each characeter had their own powerful story to follow. I definately recommend this one and the next should be even more interesting now that we have established who the characters are.
