SageChimp reader verdict

Not enough unpaid reviews

The perfect example of an under rated book in an under rated searies

This is a fantastic book in a fantastic series that most people never really talk about. The story is good, the prose is good and the protagonist and his journey was absolutely wonderful. In my opinion, this series is screaming for a screen adaptation. The magic system (systems really) are fresh and make for an exciting read. Highly recommended.
