With a whole world of lore for readers to sink their teeth into The Vatheran Prologue promises to be the beginning of an epic tale. Every paragraph seems to have a history of its own as the characters reveal more of the world to us. One of the strongest aspects of the work itself is the imagery incorporated within the story itself. I look forward to reading more.

Often when one reads an epic history within a story, it feels like filler. It feels like lazy writing. This is not the case with the Vatheran. Life, death, blood, war, and love between characters and cultures are expressed and not simply explained. As you go through you will see recurring words, such as blood and mouth, these come through as poetic. You feel the pacing ebb and flow in these words as they pull you deeper into the narrative. This is a tale of war, it is dark and complex, but the natures of the characters are highly developed and though there are many characters who are named and given a moment, there are key players in the world and they draw your attention towards them. Well written and interesting, there are over a million words in this epic and each is worth reading.

A cold opening quickly transitions into a world of hot ash and death. An ancient wall, armored heroes, and historic wars between rivaling families all scream George R.R. Martin. But nanobots repairing the dead? Are they creating undead or rebuilding the living? The Vatheran Prologue is filled with a plethora of such secrets. Readers are challenged to use their imagination to draw the world in their own image. As the first volume of a trilogy, at over a million words, The Vatheran Prologue promises hours of bloody battles, enigmatic god-like characters, and vast landscapes of detail and history spanning through time and space, and possibly beyond, to the heaven's and hell's themselves. Martin, eat your heart out.
