This a really solid fantasy debut, that kept me well entertained all the way through!
The book has a steep development of writing style - so while the start is a bit shaky, it gets better and better the farther in you get. Started of as a two star for me - ended up as a good 4 stars for me, so I went with the 3* for the whole thing. I hope the next one progresses on from the end of book one!
I clicked with the main character right away. Havovatch is a really good guy, who gets thrown into an adventure bigger than he might have ever imagined. A new soldier one day, he finds himself on a mission to save the world just shortly after!
The plot was interesting, the characters could get a bit more depth (book two??), but I'd go to a tavern with them anyday! The pacing was good, and kept me inside the story all the time. There was enough magic and creatures in the book to make it feel like proper fantasy, but not so much as to feel like you need a dictionary or slush your way through infodumps.
I can recommend this story, and if the second one is even a touch better, then it might become a four or five star review! I surely will follow this authors work.
