Sometimes a book is good, sometimes it's average, a few other times it's very poor. But every once in a while you find one that is plainly and utterly GREAT!
Introduce The Rosteval Saga book 1, and what can I say, this book's got it all: excellent prose, characters, plot. The author was able to really capture the spirit of the ancient warrior with a dash of fantasy lore. The result is a true epic, a classic in my opinion. Too many times we've seen modern writers not being able to detached themselves from the world we live in and produce an epic that feels authentic. Schultheiss here was able to create not only an ancient world that feels tangible but an entire language that is truly disconnected from modern urban English.
The pace is fast when it needs to be but also slower when characters or locations need to be further explored.
Now this story might not be for the squirmish due to some violence, and other subjects considered taboo in modern society. But if you yearn for true 'escapism' and want to visit ancient exotic lands and witness men become demigods, this is a MUST READ!

Incredibly unique, intriguing, and exciting adventure series! (Also, a love story)
A whole new world: Michael Schultheiss really created a world of his own in this series! He paints a remarkably vivid picture of a universe unlike any other. The closest thing I can relate it to is “Game of Thrones”, but that doesn’t even do it justice. Of course, there are some similarities to our reality- But all in all, this series is an escape from the world we live in. The way the author goes into detail describing his landscapes, characters, and society is unmatched. You will be swept away into this universe of magical powers, daring adventures, powerful battles and memorable characters (some characters, you will hate and love simultaneously). If you are a reader who enjoys books such as Lord Of The Rings, Game of Thrones, Harry Potter…ect- You absolutely HAVE to get your hands on this series!NSFW: This book includes quite a bit of adult content; Definitely a series intended for mature audiences.If this book sounds like something you’d enjoy, don’t hesitate to add it to your library! I wouldn’t be surprised if eventually HBO makes a live action series of the Rosteval saga. It’s THAT good!HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
