Brother to Dragons, Companion to Owls - Jane Lindskold

Saw this one in Greenwoods in a nice trade paperback edition.  The back of the book makes it sound very much like a certain kind of book, but the inside is something else.  I picked it up mostly because of the first 3 or 4 pages.  The narrator was interesting and pulled me in right away.

It was very good.  I have one little problem with the story overall, but I'm hoping to lend the book around and don't want to mess with anyone else's experience it.
