Pawn of Prophecy by David Eddings
adventurous

mysterious
2.5
A nice start to a series, though nothing that has me overly excited for the next instalments.
This book felt like a very classic fantasy opening. We have our world, our mundane main character, and a backdrop of epic world & lore hidden just behind the curtains. We spend the majority of this book in different settings referencing the outside world, though not much of it is shown. The book does almost too good of a job setting up the continuing books in the series. It reads as one big prologue, instead of it's own narrative of beginning, middle, and end.
All in all, it's pretty harmless and I'll be continuing with the series as I do own the rest of the books. Hopefully, the world fills out more in the subsequent books.
