Ok, proving ritual… this feels even more like “the wolf of the north”. I am wondering if there will be an attack from some rival city in which his father will fall.
Or is it just a trope/formula/construct?
A village boy (whose father is a great warrior) goes through a proving ritual where he is granted the blessing of the gods, then he is coming into his power by overcoming obstacles brought by the war.

Turns out the last two hours were a free trial of a prequel.
I’m not sure I’d be that interested to continue or to read a prequel, but we’ll see

Wasn’t the annotation saying the boy is not “the chosen one”, but just a normal boy getting accidentally involved in big things?
I’d say “draled” means to be the chosen one. It’s a liiitle misleading

Mmm, a little underdeveloped. We have just seen the whole family being killed by the “hand of power” and yet the reaction of the boy is rather short.

I can’t hear the word “mead” anymore. It’s everywhere. The concentration of this word on the pages in chapter 10 is so high. I gotta take a break.
