I’ll be honest; this book was a challenge for me. I’ve never completed an epic fantasy book in my life time. I’ve began many of them, but mid-way through would tap-out. This book is beautifully packaged, from the cover to the formatting. The writing is great, but in the end it’s all about the plot.As some other reviewers pointed out, it starts slow, but honestly to me I enjoyed that. It gave me a chance to get familiar with the characters and verbally struggle to pronounce their names in my head. I love that there was a map provided, it made it easier to keep track of where they were and the terrain of the settings.I did find myself skipping chapters, mainly searching for battle scenes which were handled very well. I think the only issue with this book was its size. I once read in the Fantasy genre, it’s better to start a series with a shorter piece that would convince new readers to commit to the bigger books that will follow it. It was a lot for me to handle, but I cannot deny it was well written and packaged. Hands down one of the most beautiful indie book covers out there.
