The book reserves the best for the last, and there's betrayal, moral dilemma, and a teensy-weensy bit of romance tucked in between the pages.

Both books were the highlight of my reading list for 2021 and 2022. I find myself eagerly anticipating the final installment while also dreading it.
My primary issue with Blood Scion revolves around its strong focus on outlining the protagonist's dire circumstances right from the first page.
The story moves along at a much slower pace than the preceding instalments, switching from plot-based to character-based.
The Will of the Many locks you in a vice-like grip and forces you to focus on the story at the cost of your life until the very end
Seeds of War is a must-read for any reader of epic fantasy who loves character-based stories with superb worlds and clearly defined magic systems.
It tells of what happens when mortals put their fates in the hands of immortals, allowing themselves to be unquestioningly led on in the name of faith
From the first page, we're not just introduced but smacked upside the head with highly detailed prose that makes the reading flow smoother than butter.
With the bad blood already in place in Legend, it would be interesting to see how it develops further in the next book.
The story delves into deeper facets of the human condition, unearthing layers of hypocrisy, greed, and jealousy within its diverse characters.
The character development was wonderful, and there was no overnight transformation, with only steady, stable transitions throughout the book.
Despite the many descriptions, fantasy fiction is more systematic nowadays than imagined. There is a form to the chaos and various categories for each shade of sanity and madness.
