LikedSo, something that I really enjoyed about this is the way that the plot lines converge. I think that Philip C. Quaintrell did a really good job of introducing all of these different perspectives that are seemingly unrelated.

Rise of the Ranger (2017)
Creators: Liked THE ECHOES OF FATE, A PROPHECY UTTERED UNTO THE WORLD A THOUSAND YEARS AGO, CANNOT BE DENIED… Mankind has lorded over the land of Illian for a thousand years, building on the ruins left by the elves, as if it were their birthright. A thousand years is a long time for an immortal race to see the truth of things, a truth that has remained unsaid for a millennium - elves are superior. They are faster, stronger and connected to the magical realm in a way that man could never grasp. Illian should belong to them. Unaware of the shadow that looms in the east, the six kingdoms of man are fractured, unallied, and clawing at each other’s gates for more power. This isn’t just war set to ravage the land, but a slaughter - the world of man cannot hope to survive. Thrown into the heart of this war is a man known by many names; an Outlander of the wilds, an assassin, a ranger. Asher was born a thousand years ago, to a life he doesn’t remember. Forty years of brutal training and killing for money has beaten the earliest years of his life away, leaving his ties to the oldest of evils a mystery to all… RISE OF THE RANGER LAUNCHES AN UNMISSABLE EPIC FANTASY SERIES.

LikedI think the mistake Philip C. Quaintrell maybe did with this first novel is having if I'm not mistaken, I think he has eight points of views. It's a lot. And when you get to book two and three, it gets much easier.

LikedAnd Asher in that was always like talking about like his knee pain, his back pain. I was like, I get where he's coming from. This is nice, a nice change of pace from usually some 14-year-old kid whose biggest problem in life is that you know, the girl that he likes doesn't pay attention to him.

Likedone is definitely very much sort of the classic fantasy races like you have dwarves and elves and the things that go along with those or the things that we think of when we think of those fantasy races those are definitely present in this story but as I said you do have so much about the world and so much about the characters that are their own unique original thing
