I received an advance review copy for free from BookSirens, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
The first thing that caught my eye was the cover, which is very cool looking. The concept is very interesting as well. If I had the describe it, the story is Red Dead Redemption meets the Witcher. The mix of fantasy western is refreshing.
The author's writing style is easy to digest and enjoyable. When it comes to characters, Clay and Jo seem like the most fleshed out and likable characters. About two-thirds of the way through there was a slew of new characters introduced, which made it a bit hard for me to keep up with.
Overall the story is well written. I gave it 3 stars just because it turned out to not be my cup of tea. However, I would recommend this story to people looking for something new and unique in regards to the fantasy genre.

Clay is a man past his prime and full of regrets. He was once a quester, and that life brought him and his loved ones nothing but misery. But now he has a chance to move past that, with one last adventure.
I would describe this as a weird west novella. It's an interesting genre and full of uniqueness. And this is definitely unique. Think Stephen King's The Gunslinger meets The Witcher.
Clay is a very fleshed out character and I could feel his pain and guilt that his lifestyle has caused him. I could feel his bitterness.
The writing is fluid and fast paced and I liked that the author kept the ending open enough for a potential sequel.
