If any of these words/phrases make your heart skip a beat- Renaissance Faire,  medieval times, Hobbits, Tolkien and/or Game of Thrones- you’ll want this book on your reading list.The Fantasy genre has been a long time favorite of mine and this book impressed me.This is an intense read. There is a lot of action, a great mix of characters and a beautiful attention to detail by the author.The main character was Giorn.  He interacted well with the characters and the situations throughout. I liked that the author didn’t make him perfect.  I thought the flaws made him all the more realistic.I felt I could feel the gloom, mist and wind throughout this read.  I think it takes a lot of talent to make the elements come alive in a book and that made me like this one all the more.While there is much action, suspense and activity throughout the author also worked in some romantic  scenes that I felt made the characters all the more real without saturating us in romance.What would have made my reading experience complete would have been if I had thought to pour a glass of mead to enjoy while reading. Definitely a toast to the author for a high quality read.Highly recommend.
