review 1: How do I begin? This begins as a tale of a prince, Varis seeking power, egged on by a deceptive goddess. Power is acquired, but a portion is also transferred to his hired guide, Kian who becomes his mortal enemy and who alone in the world has the power to defeat Varis. A man of honor, Kian and his barbaric companions join a priestess in a seemingly futile mission to destroy the foul king. There is dark undertone to this fantasy that I enjoyed. The action was fast paced and at times bloody. The strength of love was also an integral part of the story. Exceptionally written and enjoyable.
review 2: I read this book because it was a Kindle freebie of the day. The reviews were good, so I gave it a shot.James A. West presents a decent fantasy story in the vein of R... moreobert Jordan. It's not as gritty as George RR Martin (on whose work I've given up on) although it does have some ick that is easily skimmed over/skipped. I liked the characters and the fact that in the first chapter the gods were revealed as having been dead a long time. Don't see that twist every day! The sequel takes place 200 years later, so this is a prologue to the other two books, it seems.I enjoyed it a lot, and would recommend it as an airplane or mass transit commute book. I'm going to read the other two books in the series. less
