I got this book early this morning. I was able to finish it in about 10 hours. I only stopped to rest my eyes and get a little bit to eat. I could not put it down. I can only imagine that more books are to come. The only thing I would change is to make the books longer. 1000 pages would be a good start. When I read these books I can see what is happening in my minds eye. Breathe taking adventures.

Praise & Reviews
Every time a book is released, I have to prepare myself to not being able to put it down until it is read. I would say the author is up there with my favorites of all time Robert Jordan, David Eddings, and Harry Turtledove. When I was confused, a simple email was sent to him, and he answered explaining an event I had questions about. Never before has an author done this... PUT ME DOWN AS A LIFELONG FAN!!!

'A story hard to put down, written by a great author!'
My bedtime is at nine pm. Needless to say when this book popped onto my library, I started reading. I didn’t want to put it down. It was a good time and even with all the pain I will feel tomorrow, the story was worth it.

About J David Baxter
I love to write fantasy stories that I would want to read; stories that strike a balance between conflict and challenge for the characters. I hate stories where the MC gets sand kicked in their face at the metaphorical beach in every scene. If I wanted to watch someone get constantly bullied and pushed around, I'd go back to high school and watch the drama there. No thanks!
I like a story that shows progression, where the characters grow and change, both emotionally and in power.
I also love foreshadowing and dropping in Easter Eggs that don't pay off until later. My stories connect to a larger universe and have interesting tie-ins. You may find a minor character introduced in a single scene who ends up as the big boss villain in another book.
