The Way Into Chaos by Harry Connolly
4.0
**Acquired via humble Bundle**
The fading, respected soldier. The crown Prince who seems to be unfit to rule. The band of loyal, trustworthy friends who are also hostages, as they are the children of traitors. The young betrothed from another kingdom, to be married to the prince to an alliance. Magic.
At the beginning of a festival, a portal opens. Instead of the expected, honored guests, beasts pour out and attack. A small group lead by the soldier and the prince manage to escape. Death, destruction, and betrayal await them. Typical of epic fantasy but still enjoyable. 3.5 stars, with plans to read the rest of the trilogy as the ending is a major cliffhanger.
