the way that he was able to take emotionality out of his characters in Ashes of Man, even with all the crazy things that happened in Kingdoms of Death and you know what he did with all of his side characters that he really wasn't able to do in previous books, Ashes of Man just really hit a different tier for me

It's still a lot of fun. for those that don't know, this is kind of a blend between necromancy in a western setting. which if you don't think sounds cool, read the book.
This absolutely gives these young people agency and real trauma and real things to do and sink their teeth in and real hurdles that they have to get over. And it is just a phenomenal and fast read if you want something really quick between some other big chunkers that we do. Highly recommend it.
And while Darkness Gathers is a sequel, so if you have not checked out The Way of a Dan, which is the first in the series, that is an indie published book by Dr. Philip J.
He put this whole thing on rails from page one to the end. And it works because it's just it just drives you to keep reading. You just have to see these familiar faces and see what happens to them again.
