Review Summary
Main character Tasselhoff Burrfoot travels forward through time to find the future greatly altered. He travels through different cities to find the answer of how to change this new future. He encounters dragons and humans on his journey. His companions are young humans who are coming of age and the story diverts into plots of these young humans coming of age in taking over their kingdoms. The story ends with no resolution but with a continuation offered in the next novel.
Daniela Lo Presti, Resident Scholar
