When will book three be released???!!!???
This is mature fantasy at its best. Compelling characters, strong storyline, plot, great writing. My only advice is not to read the first two books until the third book is released. Otherwise you will be as frustrated as the rest of us who have been waiting for the last three years for the next chapter in this amazing saga.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Amazing read
I actually already read this book (borrowed from a friend) before ordering it, but it was so good I had to buy myself a copy! Unique fantasy story that doesn't have your typical machismo male protagonist nor is his love interest a flimsy damsel in distress. Amazing world building and great character development. Doesn't even feel like your reading fantasy some of the time because the world and character is so relatable. Definitely recommend!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

I know most of you may laugh about this
but this author is in league with Tolkien, Rowling, and Patrick O'Brian. He not only has created a deep world but it's one you want to live in. I keep reading the two books over and over and the wait for #3 is excruciating.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
