Time's Children by D.B. Jackson
5.0
As an aspiring writer myself, David B. Coe / D. B. Jackson is one of my biggest inspirations. I had the pleasure of meeting him and hearing him speak about this book at JordanCon '18. When I heard he was returning to epic fantasy, I was ecstatic.
The LonTobyn Chronicles was one of the series that got me into epic fantasy (and showed me how to properly blend genres) and and the Forelands books are in my top 10 series of all time.
Time's Children did not disappoint. Jackson has a way of making stories that are both epic in scope and yet extremely down to earth and personal that I've rarely seen matched. This one is no exception. Interesting take on a magic system and thrilling throughout with realistic characters that you really feel and root for. Can't wait for the second book!
Helen Keeley deserves a nod because she did a fantastic job bringing the audio book to life.
