I ve had an ARC for this book in my TBR pile for a while now thanks Christopher , but something else was always getting in the way End of year holidays was the now or never I needed And I don t regret it.The First ChapterYou know I m not a fan of prologues personally, but this one didn t feel much like the kinds I don t abide It s not set thousands of years in the past, or around random characters Instead it introduces most of the cast, if briefly, including the MC, and it sets part of the stage [...]

Having greatly enjoyed the first two volumes of Keene s Dream State Saga, it was with great anticipation that I approached his newest work, Gods of the Mountain and I was not disappointed While the Dream State books are of the LitRPG genre, having almost of a light novel flavor, this new book is of a high fantasy dark fantasy, so it s definitely a different style, and I think the author does a great job of expressing that and adapting to the genre styles while staying true to his own personal [...]
Who are the Ksai gods and what do they want with humanity Whatever they are, they gave the mountain people symbol magic, the only magic in the realm The symbol system was fascinating and I enjoyed our hero Faulk s journey, learning the art He didn t go it alone, some fellow veterans and a few of the outlandish mountain people started off trying to make their little patch of the world right and ended out in a plot that will engulf their entire world It s nice to see the Protagonist work toward an [...]
Christopher Keene has developed an intricate world of magic, diverse cultures, and overall excitement If you re looking for a read filled with intriguing systems of magic, then this book is for you I would dare to compare Keene with Brandon Sanderson for his skills of world building and, importantly, his creation of a well developed style of magic.I enjoyed this book for a number of reasons namely, it s fast pacing, the complexity of the characters, and most importantly, how intense the ending [...]
Channeling the likes of Brandon Sanderson and Joe Abercrombie, Keene has crafted a well considered grimdark fantasy It has what we have come to expect from such an epic a hero with a tragic past, a city ruled by tyranny and fear, a mysterious woman from distant realms and a carefully developed magic system The plot moves at a decent pace, with a number of intriguing twists For an epic, it is a relatively short read measuring in at just over 300 pages Although somewhat less evocative than the mas [...]
Parts feel like CSI DDIf you have ever participated in a dungeon crawl you will relate to Faulk and the rest of the characters in Gods of the Mountain.Parts feel like CSI DD and reminded me of the Beka Cooper Series by Tamora Pierce others felt like Night Watch by Terry Pratchett.A fun read for anyone that loves fantasy.
