Jacob Falling Ghosts of Heiland Heir of Scars 1, Part  1 of a series same titled.Wow, this book was one of the highlights for me for 2012.I loved Jacobs's love of language and his undeniable ability to use words to pull the reader into a world almost known, almost, not really.This is the first book in a series and usually that means that the author does not spend a lot of time on character development, but that is not true for this book.The reader gets to know, empathize and cheer for the main characters almost from the get go.Jacob manages to make his main characters strong and well known, the peripheral characters; he leaves aside like unpolished gems.I can't wait to read more and see where he goes with his ability to build on characters.The plot of the book is purely fantasy based and like all fantasy it has at its core a moral lesson.  Book one is about the importance of keeping a promise made, regardless of the cost to person.The book's editing is professionally done and is a joy to read.What did I love most about the book?The fact that the author has the ability to reveal some of questions raised whilst reading all the time maintaining an air of mystery and intrigue drawing the reader into a world almost familiar.To whom would I recommend this? To all of the people who love fantasy.I received a copy of this book for review from the author.WaAr
