This Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane review reads Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane as a fantasy novel that uses the promises of fantasy novel to test magic, power, invented history, moral scale, and the cost of wonder. Gregor and the Prophecy of Bane belongs first on the fantasy shelf, but it becomes more useful when the reader treats category as a doorway rather than a verdict.
