The Garden of Stones by Mark T. Barnes

4.0

Nice opening. A creative, well thought out, foreign world. It doesn't "feel" as foreign sometimes as some (Sanderson's Way of Kings comes to mind) but still. The magic system is interesting but I'm not sure how well systematized it is. The mythology/cosmology overall, though, is very good, and the characters are compelling and interesting.
