Sometimes reading a book by a new author is a difficult experience. It's like meeting someone for the first time, a little awkward, not quite at ease with each other. Other times, though, it's an entirely different situation where you immediately feel like you've known them forever. This was how I felt when I met, sorry, read Den Patrick's debut novel. The titular boy, Lucien, an Orfano, in the world of nobles is less than, and at the same time more than that. Amongst political intrigue and deception, Lucien struggles to find his place in the world while also trying to simply stay alive.
A beautifully written novel, with a greatly sympathetic protagonist set in a world you really feel we've only scratched the surface of.
I look forward to spending more time with new friends
in Demense throughout the rest of this trilogy.
Very highly recommended.
