Fate of the Fallen
by Kel Kade
This is a great example of a story that goes against the grain. What happens when the hero fails? When the prophecy doesn't come true? Who steps in to try to save the world? In this story, it's a nature preserving introvert, his idiot horse, a couple of theives, and a magus that got kicked out of magic school. What could go wrong? The amount of crazy BS Aaslo deals with in his attempts to save the world are both amusing and baffling.
Some things I liked about this book:
1. The dialogue was amazing. I was highly entertained by the banter between characters
2. This story had several unpredictable plot twists throughout so there was never a slow point in the story.
3. Having the perspective of the gods on Aaslo's adventure and how they intervene.
Something I didn't like:
The story seems to be told from the perspective of a reaper, who allows the reader to view Aaslo's adventure, as well as the gods' involvement. This was a wonderful way for the reader to be omnicient, but at times the perspective was unclear. It's one of my pet peeves when I feel the author is jumping between knowing what the narrator is thinking and experiencing, to a perspective of a different character without any clear seperation, like a page break or chapter change.
Overall, I enjoyed the premise of the story and I can tell the author is just getting started. I look forward to the release of book 2 in March 2022.
