Seven adventurers bent on discovering gold and glory enter the Bleak.  At first they find all they could want and more but as they descend to the darker places they find the evil is made of sterner stuff and when their way out is blocked, they have no choice but to go even deeper into this hell.  As the weeks and months of searching for the way out continues, they discover that it's the path itself that shapes them on their quest for riches.The imagery in the Bleak is incredibly well written but even more impressive is the insight from the mind of Tamik Two-Knives as he and his party struggle against the oppressive dark forces that surround them.  Iden gives us a well-paced story with a perfect balance of action in introspection.  On the down-side the party makeup felt a little too cliché but you'll quickly grow to know them and understand the toll the Bleak has taken on each.  This is a remarkable must read fantasy story - the complete package with a thought-provoking ending - 4.8 stars.Tom Clementson (Kindle Book Review)Be sure to take a moment and leave your feedback and comments about the book on Amazon and goodreads.
