Summary
The legend of Tal Harrenfel has a new, dark chapter to its legacy, and its hero quests alone into the East.
Though Tal intends to end Yuldor's war himself, Garin and their companions follow closely on his heels. Elendol is in ashes, and its queen has been replaced by one sympathetic to the East. Fleeing the destruction left in his wake, Tal leaves behind all those he loves in an attempt to save them from further harm. His aim is simple: Find Yuldor and claim the Worldheart from him, no matter the cost.
But Garin and the others won't let Tal sacrifice himself so easily. Setting off in pursuit, they intend to offer what help they can. However, not all the company's aims are the same. The East is fraught with imposing challenges, formidable monsters, and dubious allies. And survival is only the beginning, for its Emperor has a scheme in mind that may throw the World off its axis....

Something borrowed, something new
Readers of LOTR stuff, Wheel of time, Dune and Kingkiller Chronicles will recognise various schematics within this series.
My own opinion though is that there's no plagiarism, just a decent enough story backed up with a solid narration.

Angst overdrive
Too much navel gazing. With main characters displaying excessive and irrational remorse.
You could literally half the book if you took it out.
Storyline enjoyable otherwise.

It's DAMN BRILLIANT.
From start to end.Brilliant.Narated superbly with living breathing characters.Its only shortcoming was that it ended.
I cannot convey how much I enjoyed this book ,this series.
How I wanted to help.How I wanted to go down to Hunts Hollow and journey with the motley crew.
WRITE MORE.🥸

A good plot
Having been given the first book on a freebie I wasn't expecting that much. But it was a pleasant surprise to have some great characters that developed as the tale went on and see a story evolve into something more. A good listen

Story pace too slow
DO did a great job… but pace of the story way too slow got very boring in places…had to rewind a few ages at times to make sure I hadn’t missed anything and no i hadn’t! shame really as books 1 and 2 were ok! Fed up with repetitive descriptions on the eyes always ‘swirling’ amongst others…
will give book 4 a go but plot and pace better improve otherwise i will fall asleep….again!
