Plot summary[]
Sorak is part elf and part halfling and has multiple personalities as a result of childhood trauma. His quest is to search for a savior for the dying world of Athas.
Reception[]
A reviewer from Publishers Weekly comments that Hawke "more than intimates that Sorak himself is the long-awaited savior. His yarn offers fans of the fantasy genre some interesting themes to ponder."[1]
Chris Wilson writing for Time describes The Outcast and The Tribe of One Trilogy as a fantasy epic that would have made for better TV than Game of Thrones.[2]
