The Lost War

Two things:
1) I was not prepared, at all, for the wild ride this was, and
2) Holy Hell! It exceeded my expectations at a level I'm not sure I'm able to explain, so forgive me for this mess of a review.

What is this sorcery? You know those RPG games where you start a main quest planning to go from A to B, but then you find yourself emerged in side quest after side quest and A to B becomes A to C to D to...?

That's what it felt like reading this book. And I loved it. The world building, the characters (I promise you you'll love them, even the idiots), the PLOT TWISTS... All of it. I am most fond of the female knight of the White Thorn Order, Samily. She's such a gem.

More people should read this. That's my conclusion.

(And kudos to the author for making me miss one of my favourite places in the world: Edinburgh)
