My first toe-dip into Grim-Dark Fantasy and I was surprised at how much I liked it. Of all the definitions of Grimdark that I found I like this one the best: described as fiction "where nobody is honorable and Might is Right"

That about sums it up.

L. Scull takes us into a world where god-like mage lords rule, maim and kill their loyal subjects without second thought. And, those said subjects in turn plot to kill off the mage lords. This is a universe set in a medieval environment, made up of various races, abominations created from past wars, and several levels of magic.

There are some great characters. Two of my favorites being 2 curmudgeonly old guys, who actually turn out to be the heroes. Loved them.

Not for those who want happy endings. ( )

Good story. The writing reminds me of Joe Abercrombie. I'll read more. ( )

Er kan veel meer uit dit concept gehaald worden. Zonde. ( )
