My Review:


Prepare yourself for the most immersive experience in reading you have had in a long time. People toss around the term epic but this is an EPIC. There have been tales of quests...for rings or other things...but this is the quest book of quest books.


The world-building and descriptions are spot-on. You can feel the sand in your face or the wind in your hair as you read. The cast of characters is beautifully created and each add an additional flavor to this book. Very well written and a smooth read this is a fine work.


Fans of epic adventures will love this book. If you are a fan of the ringlike thing, you will love this book. A book that should be grabbed by a streaming service before they run out of money.
