Thoughts:

I am not going to do my traditional backstory as there is just too much involved with this story so I am just going to give out thoughts.

There are four kingdoms that are wanting to rule and a slew of characters that are involved. Main characters are Roan, Bane, Annise, Arch, Tarin the Armored Knight, and they all cross paths within this story. All the characters have their own background and you learn about each one along with how they affect the story as it moves along. There are also tons of supporting characters too which are involved in the story that keeps this book moving at excited speeds!

This book was a fun and exciting story as there is tons of action that lies within including dragons that make an appearance. I was impressed by how easy the book is to read - the author makes the story simple so that the reader can understand what is going on. Usually with high end fantasy stories it takes lots of concentration to focus on what is happening within the stories but not this book - the author has a simplicity about him that just flows along in the book. The author is also visual meaning everything that happens in the story I could visualize it happening on a movie screen.

The author also includes maps of the kingdoms and gives detailed info on the kingdoms and the characters. I was impressed by how fast I read this story but I just became caught up in it and had a hard time putting it down! The pace is fast and there are tons of sword clashing and fighting within this book as well. I am looking forward to continuing on with the series at some point as this story has set the tone for the rest of the series I am sure as I want to see what happens next! Giving this book five "Sword Clashing" stars!

Highly Recommend!
