If you’ve ever felt like the fantasy genre was missing something, this is the series for you. Between its complex, lovable characters, its richly detailed world, and its nearly perfect pacing, the Final Strife is a thoughtful and carefully constructed foundation for a true epic.
Go into this first book with the intention of reading at least the second. (You won’t be able to stop there.) It’s already so good as a standalone piece, but I didn’t realize how much I would love it until I could look back with fresh context.
