I basically singled out this book on the shelf because it had a most unusual title. Technically, I was looking for books that didn't have the typical words you would find in the title of the fantasy book. As luck would have had it, I got this one to read. This book holds an amazing story. It is so imaginative in terms of plot and character development. I have one word to describe it without giving away the whole story... Unputdowable! I slept late nights because of that! But there was one bit in the book that really spoiled my good feelings about it.
This book is about four students, studying to be veterinarians, who travel, meet and aid the folk living at the Crossroads. This story is great because of the way it deals with the issue of the possibility of humans ruining a fantasy realm when it becomes too accessible. However, it is the way in which it is dealt that I like. It's very different. A word of warning though, the medical jargon is a little tough to get used to and you may start to lose interest in the beginning. But hang in there! The story picks up and reveals itself to be a truly fascinating read.
