Hawkwood's Voyage

One of the best undiscovered epic fantasy series out there a sort of A Song of Ice and Fire lite if you will. Yes, if you want to look at the best of the best in the genre, there are better fantasy epics with stronger characters, more complex themes, and better writing. But. None of them are as quick and condensed a read as this series that delivers the same bang for the buck for the size of it. Paul Kearney somehow manages to pack and epic amount of struggle, adventure, military warfare, and politics into just five volumes that average about 340 pages each. In this day and age of fantasy epics being 1000+ page tomes of 10+ volumes, well you can see how this is a rare thing indeed. Monarchies of God is a highly underrated series and can stand beside the latest Brandon Sanderson epics like Mistborn and Way of Kings on nearly equal terms. There's everything you love about a proper epic fantasy stuck in between these pages. If you are looking for your next epic fantasy with a big cast of characters (several of them morally ambiguous), politics and war, and exotic landscapes (and nautical adventures) this should be your next read.
