There are a few rough patches, but on the whole I was pleasantly surprised with this novel and cannot wait for the second installment of the Kingmaker Chronicles. Loosely based on Greek mythology, gods and goddesses walk the earth alongside mortal beings and magic is taken for granted.
I am a sucker for a great fantasy story with solid world-building and a protagonist I can empathize with, and Bouchet delivers on all counts. You know when you start a book, get about 25% into it and your spine starts to tingle and you KNOW it’s going to be big because it has already sucked you in to the point that you are oblivious to all of your surroundings? Yeah…début author Amanda Bouchet did that to me with her first published work, A Promise of Fire.
