A quest for the throne. A group of individuals all qualified to take it in their own way. Tor, however, doesn’t want the throne. He is on the quest to better himself, realizing how deadly serious the quest really is after he must fight to survive against a number of beasts. Not every person who enters the quest survives and as this realization dawns on Tor, he starts to realize that he might be the best person to follow in his father’s footsteps.
The book is told in an interesting way with little “mini episodes” in which the author introduces other characters or takes time away from the main plot to give the readers updates on things that are going on in other parts of the world. This writing style made me think of a video game, and that in itself was interesting.
The writing itself was beautiful with vivid descriptions and fully formed characters. An awesome beginning to an epic series.
