the pacing felt off to me—probably because i went into this totally blind. the back of the novel suggested i wild story, but this book is just the origin story of a hero! a fun origin story—but know what you’re getting into. enjoyed nonetheless! the worldbuilding is awesome

Epic fantasy that throws the reader into the heart of the hero. This is world building at its finest--convincing, epic, and astonishing. Fans of Tolkien will love this journey.

Okay, I did write a really long and detailed review of how utterly amazing and awesome and brilliant this book is, but it didn't actually save after I clicked save. :( And I cant be bothered to write it all out again... So needless to say, this book is outstanding and one of my favourites already. Read it!
