Customer Reviews

The best of them all.

With way too many series out there this one shines. It’s Gladiator, Star Wars, The Iliad, Dune and Clash of the Titans all rolled into one. Amazes me that each book gets better. Can’t even imagine this translated to TV it’s just to grand in scale.

This book is great, up there with Dune

Like I said this is up there with Dune. Really great story, characters, I get lost in that world while reading it, and never want to put it down. Can't wait to read the next two

Absolutely riveting read

The characters are painfully human while still ascending to borderline godhood all together. There is true loss and trials in this book, moments of true despair as well as incredible triumph

Amazing

Read it. You won't be disappointed.

I ripped threw this book faster than anything in a long time. It was really interesting, and it kept me turning the pages. The protagonist is engaging. I like that this isn't the typical hero story. He has flaws. I wanted to know what would happen to him. Plus, the auxiliary characters are interesting, and the author never loses track of them throughout the trilogy. Excellent read.
