Outpost by F.T. McKinstry

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Outpost is the first book in The Fylking series. It follows a warden of the gate, a king’s ranger and a witch with powers in her weaving, and takes place on the world of Math, an outpost for the Fylking warlords in their cosmic war. There was a lot I enjoyed about this book. Firstly, McKinstry’s beautiful prose really shone for me. The world building was excellent, having more than a tinge of norse mythology about it. The three POV characters were well written and I found myself wanting to know more about each one, every time the story swapped perspective. I get the sense through the language and descriptions that the author has an affinity with nature, and that made the book even more endearing to me, finding little details in the woodlands, or the forms of animals and creatures the Fylking sometimes take. Highly recommended and I'll definitely be checking out the next book!
