The idea that death is shunned and the dead are unworthy is a major theme throughout the book, but also the worldbuilding is so deep and detailed you will explore many different cultures. It is also used to explore themes and ideas which had me so addicted to the book.
The Worldbuilding is astonishing, partially as it draws you into an incredible original world. I would like to say first of all, this book ticked all the right boxes for me. Now the people of Avarin must fight to save it, before death comes for them all.ĭive into this sweeping epic fantasy saga where religion and politics are one, magic brings terror into the hearts of men, and a looming blight threatens to tear everything down. This sickness threatens more than just the peace in the realm, it imperils its very heart. It brings darkness to the minds of men and bloodlust to their hearts. In the clanlands, parts of the Earth seem to be withering away, while in the Domain, a deadly frenzy spreads among the people. They have managed only a tenuous peace with the clans to the south, who believe life must be returned to the Earth to keep it whole. The Seraph blesses her faithful with endless years, and death is kept away in hope for Her return, but The Domain nations are not the only ones in Avarin.
The dead shall not be mourned or remembered, for death is the enemy, and will only drive the Seraph away. This is book 1 in The Ashes of Avarin series, this is a fantastic debut novel and I am going to tell you why.įirstly, I would like to give a shout out to all the fellow book reviewers who are taking part in this tour – this my first experience of The Hero’s journey and I have a feeling it’s going to be epic! Anyway it is now time for the premise I am delighted to be working once again with The Escapist book tour team, thank you once again for having me along, as I bring to you a review of A Touch of Light by Thiago Abdalla.
