For Devin Eveson life has a flow. Travelling from village to village as a priest and helping souls move on. Then he goes to investigate a mysterious disease plaguing a village. It's a magical plague brought by some black water when the water flows through again he finds himself trying to understand what is happening. Magic is coming back and things will never be the same again. There were times when it did lag a bit but overall this kept me reading and interested in what was happening. I wanted to know about what was happening in this world and I cared about the characters. Magic coming back is one of my favourite tropes and this provided it in spades. Mankind being prey instead of predator is interesting. |
