Full disclosure - my friend wrote this book so I may be a bit biased.
Though there are elements of this story that echo more famous epic fantasies, particularly Tolkien (the main threat comes from the east, "let's ride out to meet it despite our diminished strength", a last minute troop surge gathered from the south) it stands on its own as a unique, gripping tale that deserves a place alongside its genre counterparts.

I had high hopes for this book based on the excerpt, but sadly it was quite disappointing; the only positive thing I can say is that it has narrative pull, energy if you want, so it was a tolerable fast browse after it was clear to me it is far away from my tastes.
It is basically a by the numbers fantasy with very annoying names both for some characters and for the world stuff and there is nothing particular to distinguish it from the tons of similar stuff out there.

From the cover alone this book looks great
Good story, good setup for a trilogy or series. Well thought out story and universe. Lots of exposition throughout that was a little lengthier than I prefer and often handled in monologue when it might have been accomplished more efficiently. Look forward to reading the next volume as it seems that the author set us up for an Empire Strikes Back (hopefully not a Matrix Reloaded ;-).
