Unexpectedly Relevant
If I call this book the perfect fantasy book, people might assume that it is a very good standard fantasy book. But, No. This is the perfect fantasy book unlike anything else in fantasy, although the latter part comes from being part of this series itself.
Not only the story so fitting and meaningful, but the characters so real (I mean Brys), the setting so unique (have you seen fantasy tackle Crony Capitalism ?), the lessons from this book are of even higher value.
It's unbelievable that this books' story is an emotional tapestry woven together by ideas of Capitalism, Authoritarianism, the subsequent alienation of the more ethical people in such regimes and the cost of not speaking up. All this while delivering a masterful fantasy book. It definitely found me at the right time.
Its a book about brothers. And the brother characters are so good. Trull is the boi. Tehol & Bugg are the boys. The dynamic between all the brothers is off the charts real. Good stuff !
Perfection. Funny when it wants to be, Poignant and heartbreaking. Tragic. Thoughtful. Unpredictable. Its the total package.
Perfection.
