The Faded Dragon

I was offered a copy in exchange for review, and I'm glad I accepted. 
This is a debut fantasy with more than a few character beats that give it an epic scale. The multi-POV is done well and I cared for every character (except those we aren't supposed to, though they are still complex). The creation of a new race, dragon and elves together, called the Takahrn, was especially cool! Kind of a fairy/faerie but new to me. 
The elves and their magic have depleted from the world, giving us one ruled by humans. The humans have enslaved the Takahrn as beasts, but it's a fragile thing. When a new king is crowned, with new ideas, and an overwhelming historical lie, the peace is all but shattered. Watch out though, because you never know who's pulling the strings! 
One thing in particular that stuck out to me was the ending battle scenes. Each perspective gives it a wider scope, making the battles feel large, epic, and terrible. The largest of which gave me Pelennor Fields vibes with siege towers and mayhem. More would be spoilery, so I'll stop. 
Intriguing first entry, well written, and interesting world. Would certainly read more. Personally a 5/5*
