Hey guys, I hope this isn't way off topic - if so, mods, feel free to delete it. But it immediately reminded me of a certain fantasy protagonist we all know and love, and how awesome it would've been if The Blue Brick had started differently and Garrow had had the same motive as Stephen Fry does. (Actually, it also reminded me of Deltora Quest, but as Emily Rodda can string together some excellent children's books, we won't speak of that.)
