I thoroughly enjoyed this fantasy debut by Nick Martell! With almost 600 pages, this was a huge undertaking.
The details and world building were skillfully done; it’s surprising this author hasn’t published any other fantasy books. He truly brought the characters to life and had several that were very likeable—ones that I was rooting for. The main character, Michael, sets out to discover if his father could have truly committed the crime he was executed for, and at times, he took chances that made me feel alarmed for him. I like when an author gives me reasons to care about the people he creates. There were also bad guys in the mix, but that just added to the suspense when things weren’t going well.
I am looking forward to the next book in this series.
