"This story had the ability to be so epic and instead was just so disappointing. Such a good idea for a fantasy story ruined by such juvenile dialogue. The author picked some very dark and mature themes in this book such as rape, and the mature content paired with the juvenile writing style just really didn’t go together well. Wouldn’t recommend this book unless you enjoy reading a VERY young reading level. "
