The Godless World

I would categorize this as the bastard child of Tolkien and Martin: it has some of the ancient lore and world-building mythos present in Tolkien crossed with the dark grittiness of Martin. I don’t feel it completely lived up the initial expectations shown in the first book of the trilogy, but overall it was a good read and certainly better than the usual Tolkien clone series. Think of this as a way less complex version of A Game of Thrones. George R.R. Martin Extra Lite without the complex characters though some of the characters are somewhat morally ambiguous in a gritty setting.
