This is Book 1 of The Chronicles of Chaos.
I honestly didn't know what to expect with this book but loved the Blurb and the cover artwork.
After reading it, I can say that it isn't what I expected.. it is more!
We first meet Dantess a youngster as we learn about his heritage and his desire to be something more...
Glen also doesn't waste anytime in getting his first early action scene in there tooal!
The one thing that I love about this book (other than the amazing and unique approach to the Temple, Faithless and Priests) was how Glen develops his characters.
We are introduced to them as early teens and the strongly grows with them, us seeing how they have developed and matured with age. It's brilliant to see and something that I look forward to seeing more of in Book 2 and beyond.
Glen has a very unique story to tell as we learn about the different temples, priests and how Glen's world works. If I'm honest it's a bit sad really when you sit down and understand how the civilisations work (or don't work!)
This is a fantastic book of action and fantasy and was a highly enjoyable read!
Highly recommend and I can't wait to read Book 2!
