The Immortal Prince by Jennifer Fallon
4.0

Very enjoyable read and a promising start to a new series.

The basic premise is distinctive and alone carried the first quarter of the book. Arkady Desean, a scholar and the Duchess of the second most important region in the kingdom, is tasked with proving that Cayal is not the immortal god-like being he claims to be. For a variety of reasons, possibly true possibly manufactured by Cayal, proving that is not as straightforward as it would seem.

The book is populated with interesting and multi-dimensional characters and is set against a 8,000+ year mythology. Told from multiple perspectives, what could be distracting or even a failure in a less gifted writers hands the voices and thoughts of the characters are always so distinctive you know whose eyes you're looking through.

Eagerly awaiting getting my hands on book 2.
