The Trials of Ashmount

I don't have enough words to describe how satisfied this book left me

The Trials of Ashmount, the debut of grimdark author John Palladino, was an amazing read, and I don't even like grimdark!

This story follows 5 people that live in various locations across the nation of Cedain. And they are all in crappy situations. Some of their own making, and some they are forced into.

If you are not into blood and gore and wanton violence, you might not like this one, but if you suck it up and read it anyway, I think you will be surprised but what this author pulls off.
