Video Review: https://youtu.be/b3tb9fc_qTE
This was a solid piece of debut fantasy that I thoroughly enjoyed reading. It had an incredibly strong start, giving me A Song of Ice and Fire vibes. The rest of the story was good, but I felt it fell a little short of it's potential. The characters would be good, but certain characters were lacking in development. That being said, I still had a great time reading this one. I usually don't love the action parts of epic fantasy but those scenes were so exciting and vivid that they completely pulled me in.
I look forward to reading the next book in this series. I would highly recommend this epic fantasy stories to readers looking for a new, slightly gritty, story filled with action and intrigue.

Hi Rachel, Greg Keyes has been writing for years so you don't need to wait for the next in this series if you want to read more by him. I'd recommend the Age of Unreason Quartet that begins with Newton's Cannon.

Definitely not a debut from him, Greg Keyes has been a bit of a lesser known author for decades. I recommend reading his first work Waterborn. This was good but Waterborn leaned much further into the world-building of a whimsical and exciting fantasy world while still maintaining a good amount of intrigue imo.
