The Forgotten Beasts of Eld came up at the perfect time on my reading list, when its simple fairy-tale atmosphere was exactly what I wanted. The story involves a hidden baby prince, of a king whose marriage was broken by infidelity. Instead of focusing on the prince, though, it centers around his aunt--a powerful, isolated sorceress named Sybel--who takes him in and raises him. I thought Sybel was fantastics, and I was delighted to follow her as she became unwillingly embroiled in the politics of the land. The story involves the importance of interpersonal relationships, and the circumstances that lead people to attempt to control others. The Forgotten Beasts of Eld was a short, delightful novel that I am glad I have finally read!
