Shale is the lowest of the low; an outcast from a poor village in the heart of the desert. In the desert water is life, and currency, and Shale has none. But he has a secret. It's the one thing that keeps him alive and may save all the cities of the Quartern in the days to come. If it doesn't get him killed first...
My Thoughts: Dark and gritty fantasy at it's finest! The world is brutal and the characters are vivid. It is definitely well worth the 200 page build up to set the scene, so make sure you stick at it.
Shale is awesome and I love the fact that the reader can watch him grow and develop in all of his glory. Larke has such a talent for submerging us head first into her world - it's so deep, a real luxury to explore.
Trudi Canavan take note!!! This is how you really swallow up your readers and leave them desperate for more... there is no competition.
Recommendations: Anybody that likes to be completely submerged between the pages of another land.
I RATED THIS 10/10
