His Father's Sword is as close to a true fantasy as I can find. But aside from the true fantasy elements, this book is much more.
Harald, and LOT are both human and real with their relationship developing and evolving in a very realistic way. Haralds internal dialogue & mental response to trauma are so poignant for the reader that you can imagine yourself in these mindstates.
The story builds up and creates suspense & is multidimensional and interesting. The pacing is just right, as it is slower and more detailed when needed and quick to change with twists.
I would highly recommend this book and would gladly read more in this world.
Joanne L, Reviewer
I will happily read about Harald all day, this book was engaging well written and paced beautifully. I look forward to more twists from this well written fantasy world. Especially is the characters continue to be as well fleshed out as this book .
All in all a well written book with strong characterisation beautifully descriptive text and a tale that's still relatable despite its fantasy base
