Suddenly the peace of the Kingdom is destroyed as mysterious alien invaders swarm the land. Pug is swept up into the conflict but for him and his warrior friend, Tomas, an odyssey into the unknown has only just begun. Tomas will inherit a legacy of savage power from an ancient civilization.

High-Fantasy-Roman über den Krieg zwischen Königreichen ⚔️

Das Buch wird in Fantasykreisen hoch gelobt und ich fand es schön, mal wieder etwas aus dem Genre zu lesen, wo das Worldbuilding im Vordergrund stand und komplexe politische Taktiken wichtiger waren, als spicy Szenen. Man begleitet im Verlauf Geschichte verschiedene Charaktere, wobei die Handlungsstränge sich am Ende zusammenfügen. Was mir allerdings nicht ganz gefallen hat, war der Schreibstil. Das Buch zieht sich zudem über 9 Jahre, zusammen mit den Wechseln der Handlungen ist das teilweise etwas anstrengend und zäh gewesen und der Strang um Pug konnte mich nicht wirklich überzeugen. Daher für mich am Ende gute 3.5 Sterne.

Great story, although I think it would have been better explored over a series rather than one book. There were many jumps in time, and many shorter adventures that could have made for an interesting series surrounding the one war, especially considering it spanned over 9 years. That being said I think it was a great book and had a truly engaging ending. Would be 5 stars had the books character work been greater, however considering it was the authors first book, and he was just having a go to see if he was any good, I can't fault the work.
