The Riddler's Gift is the firstnovel in the Tale of the Lifesongfantasy series, followed by Second Sight. A prequel is currently in development. He enjoys a range of fantasy authors from classic world-building masters like Tolkien and Jordan to the magical realism of Charles de Lint and Richard Bach. One thing to note that Tabitha's life is the sub-plot to the actual main plot of the entire story. Though she is written as the focal point there are happenings outside of Eyrie that threaten the safety of Eyrie and the world. I think that Greg Hammerton would do well to write a prequel detailing the lives of the members of the gyre. These characters seem to be robust than his heroine.

The magical system was one part science, one part high mathematics (those parts had me scratching my head a bit), one part spiritual, and one part philosophical. At times, it went a little over my head, but that’s okay. I like to feel that I don’t have everything all figured out when I read a book.

In a time when the world was ravaged by chaos, one kingdom remains; ordered, isolated, protected. Then Tabitha Serannon awakens an ancient power and the world begins to change. She is hunted for her talent. The Shadowcasters whisper in her ears as their evil closes around her. Soon the Riddler walks beside her, but is he on her side? She has a moment to learn the magic before she loses her grasp of the Lifesong, but the path she must follow leads into Darkness; into terror, treachery and desire. To survive she must give voice to a music that she hardly understands, an enchantment that will echo through all time. (This book is Part One of the two-part edition)

The wizards believed in Order but then one defied the rest and brought Chaos, threatening to destroy the world. One sanctuary remains, a safe haven where one special person can develop the magic that might save them. When Tabitha Serannon takes a ring that isn't hers and sings an ancient song, she releases a power that she doesn't understand and cannot control. Will she learn to balance the Light and the Dark before it is too late? Or will the entire realm fall under the rule of the Darkmaster and all hope be lost?

The Riddler's Gift is a fantastic fantasy tale! It reminded me of the epic adventures written by Terry Brooks and Robert Jordan. There are many characters to get to know and different story threads to follow but Hamerton has written them in such a way that there is no confusion. Shifts between places and people flow easily. Each detail is important and nothing has been left to chance in the connections between the stories.

The overall story drew me in quickly. Unfortunately, I had very little reading time when I was reading the first paperback so it seemed to take me forever. This had nothing to do with the story though -- I really wanted to be reading it! I finally got some solid reading time when I got to the second paperback and devoured it in just a couple of days. The small sections within chapters actually turned out to be a bonus for me when I was reading the first part because they were natural breaks where I could leave off even if I'd only had a few minutes to pick up the book.

The Riddler's Gift has magic, battle, good, evil, self-discovery, a guide, a journey, and even a bit of romance. In short, it is everything one would expect in an epic fantasy novel. It is also wonderfully crafted with the true voice of a story teller.

I am looking forward to continuing the adventure with Second Sight.

I decided it was high time to try a new author. I've had bad luck with my last few purchases in my local book store, having a pretty front cover and a compelling overview on the back can be misleading. When I picked up the Riddlers Gift I decided this time I was going to read the first chapter. Very few authors writing styles appeal to me and I tend to lose interest quickly...

Greg Hamertons writing style got the thumbs up from me immediately. Everything was easy to visualise, getting the right amount of detail and characters were well constructed. The first chapter was a winner in the book store, and consequently a few days later I had read the entire book (which I don't do often).

This book is a good read, with some fresh concepts on fantasy and dark characters. I definately recommend it!

An excellent read - kept me turning pages until I reached the end. It is full of surprising twists and turns and quite well written. If you enjoy fantasy, you will probably enjoy this book, and I look forward to following the story of Tabitha, Garyll, and the Riddler in the sequel. At times the pace slowed, only to pick up and I really didn't want to put it down.
