All Things Broken
All things broken may be made whole again…
Sivino Spallic has always believed this to be so, but when his once idyllic world is suddenly torn apart, he will question everything he once thought to be true.
The breaking begins with the arrival of the Nylacci - foul creatures of myth that descend on the villages of the Three Realms, razing and ravaging all they encounter. Their arrival is the doing of Cehron Cen Kohr, a renegade faerae of great power and increasing madness, who, with the enigmatic Shepherd, has herded the creatures to this land for unthinkable purposes.
Separated from family and friends, Sivino and his companions find themselves on a perilous path that leads them ever further from those they love. With the assistance of Lomin, the mysterious village recluse, and Niamh, a faerae whose history is inextricable intertwined with the Realms and its inhabitants, they will deal with conflicts for which they are unprepared, in a land both unfamiliar and treacherous.
The hardest part of piecing together that which is broken, Sivino will realize, is that he’ll have to start with himself.

Great read. Really well developed world, lots of likeable characters. There are a LOT of characters to keep track of in this book, but overall it's still great. I'm very much looking forward to book two. I can't wait to find out what happens next!

All Things Broken by David James Lynch is a sweeping, soul-stirring fantasy one that wields myth not as escape, but as reflection. It’s a story of shattering and restoration, of courage born in ruin, and of the fragile faith that even what’s broken can be made whole again.
Lynch’s world of the Three Realms is vividly imagined a landscape where every shadow carries memory and every legend feels lived-in. The arrival of the Nylacci, monstrous harbingers of chaos, ignites not only a battle for survival but a journey of profound self-reckoning. Sivino Spallic’s odyssey is as emotional as it is epic a search for meaning amid destruction, and for identity when all certainties are stripped away.
Through lyrical prose and archetypal depth, Lynch merges the grandeur of classic fantasy with the introspection of modern myth. The result is both cinematic in scope and intimate in emotion a tale as concerned with the heart as it is with heroism.
For readers of Patrick Rothfuss, Brandon Sanderson, and Guy Gavriel Kay, All Things Broken is a testament to the redemptive power of storytelling itself a reminder that the greatest battles are often the ones fought within.
