I was sent an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.
I have had Rob J. Hayes on my TBR for quite a while now. I have a kindle, but much prefer physical books. I think that is the only reason I haven't read any of his stuff until now. When offered an ARC, I decided to finally check his writing out. I was not disappointed.
This story follows eight year old Ein on a mission to kill the emperor. To do this, he has been granted the power to bring warriors and heroes back from the dead to aid him. He already knows who he'll raise from the dead. They are heroes from the stories his father used to read to him. Now they have to die so he can bring them back to life. It's the only way to kill the emperor.
I really enjoyed this. The characters are so different from each other. I loved how they started off strangers and grew to be a team and a dysfunctional sort of family. They each have their own kind of magic that was interesting. I loved some of the names they gave each other.
I liked this book so much that I have already bought physical copies of his first 2 series! Highly recommend for all fantasy readers.
