What a debut novel by Ed McDonald!!! It was truly epic! Honestly it had everything I love in fantasy novel.

It start fast and did not bother to over explain the world and the magic and all, we discover it as we go on with the main character adventure. The magic system, the world, the badass heroes, the epic quest, the tragedy, the over drinking, the dark humor, etc. Everything was well done and totally enjoyable.

I had already the second one and will read it by the end of November, and I just order the third and final one that I will probably read in December. I was expecting it to be good, but not as great as it was. One of my best book of the year for sure and could possibly achieve one of the best series as well along with Hyperion from Dan Simmons! This book have high ratings on Goodreads and totally deserve it, but it also deserve to me more talk about, because it didn't get the attention it deserve!

If you love fantasy do yourself a favor and read it you can thanks me later by buying me a drink. God this book made me thirsty!
