I've read too much grim-dark in the past year so it's a nice change of pace to enter something not quite YA but not as grit filled as GD. This took me back to thoughts growing up reading [a:David Eddings|8732|David Eddings|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1223870462p2/8732.jpg]. Wilderness, a panache of magic, a youth, prophecies. Little bit more ethno-Christian-angel-demon influences here but it's a neat world. People mention a GOT vibe and I can get that in a lighter shade--it's got a lot of characters, and its set in a medieval level of technology.

I just finished the 3rd book before returning to reviews--so I'm not going into details or foibles. It was a good enough read that I wanted to continue and continue I did. If the setting, a lot of people, sword clashes, ancient wars gets you going--enter traveler. :D
