I had low expectations for this novel, especially after I just read <i>Ironhelm</i>, which I did not enjoy. And, while like <i>Ironhelm</i> this book is heavily modeled after a real culture/event, this novel is done much better.
The novel is told through the perspective of a Furo priest/cleric, who becomes close to the great Kahan who plans to scale a wall and conquer the known world. This is surprisingly magic-light and the author does a great job describing the sights, sounds, and culture of this new world. I was surprised by the ending, but it felt "right" and I'm curious to see where the next book will take me.
