The Shadow of What Was Lost

It was okay, I guess?

I really wanted to like the first Licanius book, but as I got further into it, it seemed to become the same thing over and over and over again until Davian met with his Augur mentor in Deillanis. The fight scenes also didn't do anything for me, and I'm not sure why. They were just fine.

What I really ended up enjoying were the visions, or flashbacks, or flash forwards? Those small glimpses provided a ton of information and glimpses into what was to come, and how certain characters became who they were.

Overall, I give The Shadow of What Was Lost a 3/5. It was good, not great, and certainly not bad. Give it a whirl if you enjoy a ton of dialogue, a little lack luster in the action department, but the world building is 10/10.
