I really enjoyed the originality brought in this story and I loved that it had the feeling of being both modern and medieval. Amyeen and Morlen were two of my favorite characters, the friendship between them is amazing. I would have loved to see more from Victarny’s point of view and have more given about their back stories but I am definitely looking forward for what unfolds in the second book of the trilogy!

What a great first book, in fact what a brilliant book full stop. I always think I love the idea of the historic style fantasy genre, but can rarely get into it. This book I couldn't get out of my head when I had to grudgingly put it down.
It kicks off at quite a pace and then shoots off in so many different directions with fabulous, often intriguing, definitely well crafted characters. The complexity of the plot was enthralling. If Game of Thrones is your thing this book should be on your bookshelf or in your kindle library.
I did not know I was interested in how all the different medieval weaponry worked, their origin, how they were used etc. etc. but I was fascinated. The writer was either teleported from medieval times or he really really does his research well.
The buildup to battle felt like an ever increasing drum role, a heavy sense of anticipation that grew and grew. This reminded me of Lord of the Rings. I loved how the different characters paths were being defined by the war.
I was enthralled that by the end of the book, in what should have been the light of day, the cessation of fighting, there were even more characters, plots and intrigue emerging.
Brilliant.......

An excellant debut novel from a new writer who knows his subject matter when it comes to medieval warfare and weapons.
The battles are brutal, violent and well contructed. The characters are fuly formed and believeable.
A good story set to a good pace.

Enjoyed this book so much I read it twice!!! If you like David Gemmell and Game of Thrones then you are gonna love this. The plot has many twists and turns that literally keep you on the edge of your seat, not to mention the graphic and nail biting battle scenes. What a fantastic debut, cant wait for the sequel.

Really enjoyable debut novel. Good plot, interesting and entertaining characters and some wicked dark humour. What’s not to like. Will be keeping a keen eye out for the next one in this trilogy.
