This book, I picked up because I figured I’d try something new, something about an older character, not a young buck for once. and by the Celestials is it Abyssal good. You can feel the emotion, the pain, the love, and the joy the characters feel. Elder is a man I hope to be when I have reached that age, loving and caring. His attitude and character feel real and alive. It is a little hard to follow some of the magic elements, that is to come along since this is an audiobook. I suggest anyone, even those who don’t normally listen to fantasy, give this book and series a try. The lead’s attitude makes it all worth it.
