War Song

This is the prequel novelette to The Price of Power, which was a banger of a debut. You should check my review out, as well as the novel itself. And then buy both of these... 
This has followed in the formulae that has recently taken over in the fantasy community where the first novel is now followed by a prequel. This is in no way a complaint, or shade, it just means that the novel should still be read first, as the detail and attention to world building is far greater in the larger work, as opposed to the short single-story driven tale told in the prequels. 
This tells the story of Danath Ironlight before he had earned the name. When he was a slave confined to a life of toil, destined for an early grave. This is the story of hope. The story of unity, of bonding and freedom. This is the first glimpse of the rebellion that ended the reign of the Scoth. It features great characters and depth in such a short story, and it's a fantastic precursor to the novel. Namarr!
Personally a 5/5* for me.
