The Tales from the Hunter's Rest #1
Brothers in Blood
Oblivion. The complete and utter darkness of the void. Silence. A total absence of movement and noise that deafens the ears by drawing out even the memory of sound from the mind, leaving only a gaping vacuum of nothingness.
And then there was light.
And then there was sound.
And the light ripped through the void, leaving a searing scar upon the infinity of Oblivion. And the sound shattered the silence, filling the vacuum with echoes of its passing. Light and sound. Lightning and thunder. A storm.
Images flashed by like slivers of broken crystal tumbling in the sunlight: a pristine valley, a rural inn, a raised knife, blood. He struggled to slow the images down, to make sense of them. But a presence frustrated his efforts, a will as strong as his own. And somewhere behind it all at the farthest edges of his awareness, rang dark, echoing laughter.
Thunder and Lightning.
Silence and Oblivion.
A storm is coming. Time to gather around the fire, lift a mug of small ale and listen to a good tavern tale.

For a first time novelist, this is an excellent book. the world building is thorough and the characters are compelling. the pacing was a little slow to start, but the story did pick up, fleshing out the two main characters in the process. Details are paid to the history of the world and are smartly conveyed. A solid coming of age story for these 'brothers' with a goo dose of mystery for the future. I am interested to see where the rest of the trilogy takes us.
Also, I did really enjoy the preface and afterword that the author wrote. it shows he has flexibility in his writing styles and they were funny. Look forward to the rest of the trilogy and any future works.
