Riddle in Stone is a well-written fantasy novel with a clever plot and a very original main character. Edmund is indeed a peculiar fantasy hero, stammering, insecure and constantly talking to himself. To impress Molly, Edmund one day leaves his secure and dull life to seek adventure. Why such a fat and cowardly bookworm abandons his regular village life is in many ways a mystery, but as it turns out, there is more to Edmund than meets the eye. As danger trouble and increase, so do his courageI read the sample of this book on Amazon, and the plot hooked me. It hooked me so much I kept on reading it, and I'm now about 60% of the way through.

One evening he was humiliated in from of a girl he tried to court and got somewhat drunk as a result. So what does any geek do in his
When Edmund is humiliated in front of Molly, the woman he loves, he decides he is tired of being just a librarian in a small town and heads out seeking adventure. And like that old warning 'be careful what you wish for because you just might get it', Edmund gets a whole lot more adventure than he had ever anticipated and none of it good.Edmund is kind of the antithesis of the usual fantasy hero: he is short, fat, and middle aged with a stutter and and a whole psychiatric lexicon of neuroses and
Robert Everts book Riddle in Stone was a really refreshing reading amongst my usual books. Its interesting mix of books like J.R.R. Tolkiens Hobbit, Darren Shans Vampire Mountain, Trials of Death and The Vampire Prince and Edgar Rice Burroughss A Princess of Mars.The hero of this book, Edmund, is not our typical hero young and strong and always ready to fight male - but a quiet, shy, stuttering, potbelly middle-aged man, but that is his charm. He is not making all the expected moves at the
