Pros & Cons

Pros

Every page of this book adds to the richness of the story being told and will captivate you. It is used to add texture, and makes sense.

The central characters are all fleshed out, with motivations, strengths and flaws. Bad things happen to good people, who then avenge themselves upon the villains - to the degree that they are able. The villains are just as well thought out and complex...  Read More

Author uses real world kingdoms to give the reader a feel for his world without wasting the reader's time trying to describe everything. Builds to the point where the nation itself is in peril. Has depth of world building without getting too lost in t...  Read More



Cons

It's unclear whether this is supposed to be a fantastical version of earth's history.

The amount of filtering used is too much, and looked is exceptionally overused. The pastiche fails. The cutting and bludgeoning of flesh in selenoth gets a similar treatment.

For instance compare this with ian mcdonalds awful lunanew moon


I read a grand total of about a 14 of book one in a song of ice and fire series george martins work is inferior to vox on every level

    The book is very digestible and easy to pick up at any point in the story as it is broken down into short chapters each of which is named after a character


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The workman like writing style lacks beautiful prose of some authors but doesnt take away from the story


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It starts slow as with most epic fantasy due to the number of characters introduced and foundation being laid for a large and complex plot


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The battle scenes are where this book truly shines though


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    This is a aspect of fantasyscifi that is sorely lacking with many authors outside of nick cole and larry correia

    Heck buy a whole pallet of these things so maybe we can get the sequel in the near future

    It’s like grr martin without the nihilism or endless rambling rabbit trails


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I couldn’t have gotten a more enjoyable book if i had my own team of fantasy writers custom write a story out of my favorite fictional and historical stuff
