Legends of Ahn by Kel Kade
3.0
The series was always high fantasy thanks to its protagonist but in the third book the rest of the setting and major conflict take a sharp turn in that direction as well. We see Rezkin
Along with these high fantasy tropes, our protagonist finally finds his place and his match. After two books of effortlessly overcoming all obstacles, we finally get to see Rezkin struggle not only with why but also with how and even see him pushed to the very edge of his abilities.
This book made me see the parallels between this series and the Wheel of Time. Both start with a small group tackling a specific problem but then each new installment expands the world, complicates the issues and never gives final conclusion to any of the plot threads. While it is a little early to be worried, I really hope this series avoids the unfortunate fate of WoT.
