That's it? How can that be *it*?

Once again, Jared creates a world filled with different races and strange beasts, and chock-full of lore and myth. We even have some languages this time, which is cool!
I'll be honest, I hardly ever read fantasy because 99% of it contains magic. (I take the Bible's warnings about witchcraft pretty seriously.) However the "magic" system here, as Malakai explained it, seems different and makes a lot of sense. So I wasn't uncomfortable with it. 😉

I'm definitely picking up a LOT of symbolism here, which is really cool. Almost allegorical, but not quite.

Too early to tell a favorite character, but I've got a soft spot for Grath. (Characters with a fun way of speech earn points from me, lol 😆)

This was a fantastic tale with descriptions that fully immerse you in the world. Sprinkled with enticing lore!
