"Enjoyable so far, though a little harder for me to connect with than the Adam Binder novels were. Interesting background and premise, just interested in seeing where it all ultimately ends up. The romance angle is actually a bit more forced feeling than it was in the Adam Binder novels, and is more of a fringe aspect in this one." — Nov 24, 2025 09:44AM

Joel’s Quotes

“There's a slope down toward evil, a gentle gradient that can be ignored at each step, unfelt. It's not until you look back, see the distant heights where you once lived, that you understand your journey.”

“This is where the wise man turns away. This is where the holy kneel and call on God. These are the last miles, my brothers. Don't look to me to save you. Don't think I will not spend you. Run if you have the wit. Pray if you have the soul. Stand your ground if courage is yours. But don't follow me.

Follow me, and I will break your heart.”
― Mark Lawrence, Emperor of Thorns
