i picked up this book with pretty low expectations, but i ended up really enjoying it! i am a big fantasy reader so i enjoyed the magic system and the battle elements that the book contained. i also really enjoyed most of the characters. i found myself very invested in both Drocan and Horus’ character development and their relationships with the side characters, especially the romance. i found this book really funny, and the humor just added a whole new element to the story. all in all i thought this was a great book, and i can’t wait to read more!

If you enjoy fantasy, sword fights, archery, magic, epic battles, and Adventure Quest Worlds, then this book has it! It does an excellent job keeping up the pace and setting up characters you'll want to know more about in sequels. Overall, a solid first book from this author!
