The Way Into Chaos by Harry Connolly

4.0

For the first entry in a new series, this is a solid fantasy novel. The pace is a bit slow in places but the world is interesting and the hints of a larger story pulled me along. Unlike many multi POV books, I enjoyed both protagonists' sections. Connolly has given us two characters with overlapping interests but very different perspectives and done both credibly. In addition to the two leads, their travelling companions are interesting, range in age, and are from a variety of locations in the world he's built.

A good pick for fantasy fans who like quicker reads (this first in a trilogy is under 400 pages), completed series, and an interesting cast of characters. Very happy to have the other two books waiting for me.
