This book reads like straight out of a 14 year old boys fantasy. From the constantly repeating of non-important descriptive drivel, to the constant interjection of sexual content, of which seems to be there just because. I’ve read almost all of his other works, riftwar is one of my ATFs and have read multiple times, but was sorely disappointed with this series. I finished just because I started, but I wish I had never started in the first place. I laughed out loud at how repetitive the writing was. I couldn’t believe what I was actually reading. Do yourself a favor and skip this.

So, I like this book. And I will give it 5 stars, but it’s not a great book. It panders to an obvious fate of the ‘chosen one.’ And an alternate POV that simply isn’t as interesting as the CHOSEN ONE. It’s a pleasant read because it reads like a David Eddings book. It has all the things you love about a fantasy book. But it’s not truly ground breaking, it’s like comfort food. It’s a great pot roast, and it will feed your stomach, and maybe some feelings, but it won’t do more than that. It’s like a summer blockbuster, it hits all the notes you want but it’s not really a great movie.

Best book I’ve read in years in the space

Enjoyed the book. A good read and it was on sale! Lured me in for the next in the series. Fun universe and well developed characters created by the author. Main characters are a little “coming of age/boy to man” for me. Why are there so many teenagers starring in my novels?! Still, I’m reading the next one when I can.

I’m surprised at the quality of this title considering how much it cost. Honestly I haven’t read a fantasy book this good since I read the Game of Thrones series.

Like listening to an old friend tell a great story. Can’t wait to read the rest.

This is my first Book by this author, I do not seem interested in other books by him but this book knocked my socks off. I Loved it and cant wait for the next one.

I’m sorry Ray but I need a refund. I can’t get past page 12...
