Fate of the Fallen by Kel Kade
3.0

An interesting premise (what if you experienced the monomyth from the perspective of a Sam Gamgee character, instead of a Frodo) that doesn't really go anywhere, as the initial subversion of the Chosen One trope ends up being played somewhat straight. I also thought there were too many jumps across character viewpoints -- without being too spoilery, I was not particularly intrigued by a certain thief duo's PoV, or the 'observer' character that appears later on.

Still, this is the first book in a trilogy, and I think there's room for improvement. There's enough in here to give it a go for book #2, so fingers crossed this was all buildup for some really awesome stuff.
