Had to go back and read from the beginning after reading Sorrows.  Enjoying this...will need to read Young Wizards again since it's been so long since I first read it.  Keep up the good work:)

Author's Response:

Glad you liked it. It always seemed that there was a 'deeper' level to Tom and Carl's relationship <g>. Plus Carl admitted in 'Deep Wizardry' the second novel of the series that there is a price greater than a 'life price', and 'his eyes were filled with sorrow as he was lost in memory'. So I decided to make a twist of my own on it.

 

Still this is going to be an interesting series, as I don't know where it's going to go or end up. I do plan on keeping a lot of the key events from canon as part of the series, such as Darth Willow and the battle with The First. I'm probably going to play around with the Angelus line and possibly with Graduation as well, not sure when I'll get to those parts.
