This is a shitty blurb.It gets a little better towards the end, but overall, it's still a shitty blurb.
It's a bit slow in the beginning making it hard to get into but its worth the read.
This was a solid high fantasy - a coming of age story of a young wizard, some of which was predictable and some that was unexpected. I found the war bits tedious at times, but enjoyed the rest. There was a tiny bit of foreshadowing for The Ordinary and it was nice to get Jessex's story.
