I enjoyed the premise of this book, and loved the twist to the trope of the chosen one. It is a good idea and the characters were well thought out and presented. Unfortunately, the author’s execution fell a little flat. Although I didn’t lose interest, there were several sections that were slow reading because I wasn’t fully invested in the situation or because the wording threw me out of the story. It ended up being a balance of being interested enough to keep reading even though I wasn’t devouring every word.
That said, I think this author has great potential to produce incredible epic fantasy and I look forward to seeing Danese’s development in future books.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a great fantasy! The writing is captivating and descriptive, instantlu whisking you away to another world on a great adventure. I instantly felt connected to the characters, especially Boren, and pulled into the story--not wanting to out it down!
