Forest of Souls

A classic chosen one type adventure yarn with some neat world building which helps to avoid some of the tropes of the genre. The repressed minority theme is well done, with a well built and designed magic system with some proper hard magic elements form the basis of the story - nothing spectacularly original, but the sense of the world that has been built with its distinctive character gives a good quality to the story.

There are some fun twists and turns on the way allowing what could be a derivative storyline to maintain some good freshness. An enjoyable and easy to read story that kept me interested throughout
