What to expect
–Ravenshardsis set to be a four-book long series, averaging about 150.000 words per books.
–No Isekai, No LitRPG, no GameLit!
– Actual story is ~20.000 words ahead of what is already published, so you can have weekly updates even if I fail to deliver my weekly goals.
– Chapter length may be a bit longer than usual, about 5.000 each.
– The story is to be written, no matter what.
The Veil had always separated the mortal world from the Gods’ Realms.
Now it is torn; thefaelinpours into the world. Only a few can control its turbulent waves through the power of gemstones, and even less can call themselves Reborn: people whom the faelin touched and gave great gifts – or curses.
As nightmares come alive in Amrith, King Bryne ventures on a dire mission to the heart of the land to save the kingdom from the decay that has been festering there for years. Chaos sweeps across the land as the King falls victim to treason, and his people needs to forge new alliances to take up arms against the very land itself.
Great and dark powers lurk amid the shadows, and mankind turns against itself while the once noble servants of the Gods, now corrupted, seep through the Veil - and the Crimson Queen has been awakened from her ancient slumber.

- GabalterRoyal Road★★★ 2.5This author just drops us right into the deep end and just dumps the world building onto us. I am a believer in building characters, then developing the world around them. I can't really care about a fantasy world if I don't care about anyone living in it.
And if that was the only issue I think this story would have done better, but the way the author writes characters it seems like they don't have a clear grasp of their personalities yet. For example, in the prologue, Maeve, a girl with healing powers is staring up at the night sky while a man who is clearly in pain is groveling at her feet. She even sighs when he makes too much noise and pulls her attention away from the night sky. Cool, that's great character building right? Well in the very next chapter Maeve finds out some scouts are being attacked and she demands to go because she may still be able to save someone. Okay? Which is it then? Is she self-centered or is she selfless? I don't know, the author spent basically the entire time in between just world building and lore dumping instead of developing their characters.
If you don't immediately fall in love with the world the author is building this is going to be a hard read.
