Herald by Rob J Hayes is the first epic story in a new series. It's a whole series of 3 series, all interconnected, but I was told by the author this one was the best start. You apparently can read each series on its own, but if you are like me and really want a reading order, start here.
I LOVED this book! It has everything.
* A deep history, and mythology - even more so in the other series as I understand.
* Likeable young characters with a good coming of age story.
* Characters as old as dirt. Maybe older.
* Friendships and betrayals.
* Bad villains who you can still kinda relate to - the best villains there are.
* Characters who surprise you with who they really are. I love it when they feel organic and yet manage to catch me off guard.
* Mysteries, twists and turns.
* Adventure, action and thrilling fight scenes.
* Slow and thought provoking moments.
* Banter and humour for a nice balance.
I was immediately drawn into the story, and really blew through the whole, rather big, book in no time at all, when I didn't even have much time to read or listen.
I can't recommend it highly enough, and can't wait to delve into the others!
