Why read it?
1 author picked The Shadow of What Was Lost as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book has this wonderful dichotomy of feeling both fully familiar with other great, classic epic fantasy stories while simultaneously standing proud in its own right.
I tore through this book and this trilogy because they toed the line of nostalgia for classics like Lord of the Rings and The Wheel of Time while maintaining a more modern voice and more accessible pacing. Any time an author can pack the same degree of epic-ness into a smaller (but by no means small) story, I am all in.
From Tim's list on epic fantasy with unforgettable characters.
