Call of the Herald by Brian Rathbone
adventurous
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Strong character development? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
2.5
This is a typical fantasy for me, slow starting but does eventually grab you so you want to know what happens next.
I did this as an audiobook and fantasy is always harder to get into when it is an Epic Fantasy like this one, but I got there!
There are lots of things going on and done as an audiobook was hard for me to keep track of them. But from what I got I feel it mixes lots of fantasy eliminates. I feel like we have the a bit of the YA Spooks apprentice, a little bit of The wheel of Time, a little bit of the classics from Tolkien and Lewis all meshed into this book to make a YA Epic Fantasy.
I give this 3, since I am interested in the next book and I didn't quite get the best experience from audiobook. If I reread this as an ebook or paperback it may change.
