I don’t read anything like enough, but I really enjoyed this book. It’s about four different races; Man, Elf, Dwarf and Orc. Through the narrative you get a real feel for the difference in these races and their unique perspectives on power and influence. There is a strong story thread that focuses on what I’d call the evolution of the Orc as this race becomes a bigger threat to the others.
It has some heavy topics in there where it plays with some concepts around religion that are more than offset by lighter moments of wit.
Although this is a self-contained story you get a real sense of the fact that the author has created a well considered universe where there are many more tales to be told.
I will be keeping an eye out for more.
