Community Rating
Description
Blurb:In the aftermath of a devastating conflict between an empire and a coastal nation to the south, a king is killed before his subjects, a people are broken, and the only heir left to rally them is lost at sea. Years pass, the countryside burns as people known as Crystal Borne are hunted down like dogs and sent away. Meanwhile, a prince grows amongst whores, thieves, and renegades, and pirate gangs wage war for dominance in salted islands to the East. Will a prince discover his role in a story not of his choosing? Or will a Kingdom be doomed to crumble into the pages of history?

- Jordan StufflebeamRoyal Road★★★★★ 4.5First off, you can tell he his passionate about his work, no doubt about that. The drive he has reflects in his works. The thought behind his characters, down to the names are extrodinary and he is talented.
He is able to build a world and his characters strong, he is able to be discriptive enough to paint the picture but still leave room for us to imagine it on our own, and he understands that balance quite well.
For this being his first major work, I am impressed, and I think whoever reads it will be as well. The one thing is like any book there is going to be some grammar errors here or there, heck I am more than guilty of it. But it isnt bad enough to draw away from the story, plus its why editors have jobs. Also, sometimes his conversations dont flow as naturally or seem overbaring, but these are small things compared to his ability to tell a story.
I cant wait to read more, and if you pick up the book, odds are you will feel the same way.
