I recently picked it up to catalog here, and I realized I couldn't remember it at all. After re-reading it, I still can't remember a darn thing from reading it previously. It wasn't a bad book, but it wasn't that good either. Compared to more recent fantasy novels, the combat was too simplistic, and so was the main villain, and the general plot. Its set in the same world as Death God's Citadel, though that's all they have in common. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Well... it was OK. However, the plot was firmly within genre tropes, without any strikingly original flourishes. The language was mainly unremarkable - but interspersed with occasional stilted phrases and overly-florid passages.
The main character, Danaer (I'll call him Dan) is a warrior of the horse tribes of Destre-Y, a country which has long been in conflict with the neighboring kingdom of Clarique, although both groups are part of the land of Krantin. When Krantin is invaded by warriors from over the sea from Maukland, led by an evil and power-hungry wizard who has no compunctions about using men as zombie warriors to gain personal advantage, Dan must try to help form an alliance between Clarique and Destre-Y in order to work together and repel the attack.
It doesn't hurt that one of the wizards of Clarique is a most-alluring young Sorceress named Lira, whom Dan has no trouble wanting to ally himself with at all. Soon their alliance is more than professional. Together - and accompanied by a fearsome sidekick in the person of the huge but goodhearted warrior Gordyan, they may be able to save their homeland and create a unified Krantin.
Before we get there though, there will be a lot of swords & sorcery.
Since this is clearly advertised as "Book 1" I was afraid that it'd end on a cliffhanger - but I was pleased to find that, no, this book wraps everything up in a nice, fully-resolved manner - it's fully a stand-alone.
Many thanks to Venture Press and NetGalley for the opportunity to read. As always, my opinions are solely my own.
