[Tobias White · Rating 5 out of 5]

I first came across the works of Philip Blood with his Nexlord series. Like in the Nexlord series the story centers around friends, loyalty and family. The plot of this series is both interesting and complex with interesting twists and turns which allows the reader to easily become engaged. Like in his Nexlord series Philip Blood created an interesting magic system that is logical but still fantastic which spurs the reader's imagination in what could be possible with it. The cast of character is quite large and so this is an epic tale. One can also see the influences of Frank Hebert's Dune series has on the book but it has its own individuality that keeps it from feeling like a clone, so if you are a fan of Frank Herbert then this series is for you. A must read that I highly recommend.
