I don't normally read quest-books, so I didn't enjoy it much.
I had a hard time to connect with the characters, and wish we had more space for the emotional side of the story. Sometimes a very emotional scene went by too quickly, because the quest had to move forward.
The world building is quite vast and well done, and was my favourite part of the book.

To begin with, I enjoyed the plot of this book. It had a lot of different threads that came together, and I loved how it all played out. In particular, I liked that the plot became more complex as the book went on; in the beginning, it seems like Grahme just has a simple quest to complete, but it only grows more complicated from there.
I also enjoyed all the different characters involved in the story. Grahme himself, of course, was well-written, and I liked his characterization. He had a sort of fluidity; he was equal parts serious and light-hearted, with different sides of his character coming out at different moments. All in all, I loved reading about him and his adventures.
As for the side characters, while I do think some of them could have been given a little more depth, most of them were very well-written. Honestly, I don’t think I could pick a particular side character I liked more than the others; they all had things I loved about them and contributed their own uniqueness to the book.
Finally, I can’t end this review without talking about Mollman’s presentation of the druids and druidesses. As I mentioned before, I liked his take on them. They had a lot of different interesting abilities, most notably their power to transform into different animals. But aside from that, I just loved how much detail Mollman put into everything. I fully understood all the different aspects of their order and how things worked, and I appreciated that.
So, in the end, I recommend checking this one out! If you’re a fan of fantasy, then you’ll most likely enjoy this book. It has excellent world-building and an enjoyable plot, in addition to a lot of other amazing elements. And since this is just the first book in the series, I can’t wait to read the future installments and find out what happens next!
