Traveler's Gate Trilogy

[Galavantes]

So I feel as though I should put this out here. The House of Blades is a first novel by a new author named Will Wight. It's the first book of his planned trilogy and the second book is due out this month. For a $3 download it's an excellent book, the author has a great imagination and the imagery is wonderful. While this book seems to be a staging book for the rest of the series, simply introducing us to the players, there are hints throughout of a very interesting game being played. 

 

His premise is somewhat Brandon-y. In that he is taking a known fantasy trope, that of the small town farmboy who comes into great power and begins to act out ancient prophecies, and flips it around by telling the story from the viewpoint of his entirely un-prophesized friend. 

 

If you want a very fun read with great potential, and to support a very promising new author, check it out.

Sounds like Belgariad from Silk's POV.

 

Is it clean, or is it more adult oriented?

[Galavantes]

I'd probably give it a PG-13. Simply for some violence and slight creepiness at times. Language is fine and sexual content is non-existent so far.

I haven't read the Belgariad yet. Personal failing.
