Gilli Fellows liked a chapter from Oak and Stone: A Book of Enai

Picture, if you will, the fawn.

He is full of life as he skips his merry way down to the river’s edge, tiny dainty hooves pressing drops of morning dew from the grass. The grass exhales as the hoof lifts and the fawn springs onwards, tufted ears and delicate eyelashes flicking away midges attracted by the moisture by the flowing stream and the hot vitality of the beast’s lifeblood. There is a joy in his eyes, shining in the early sunshine reflected from the surface as the young creature. . .

      Gilli Fellows liked a review for Oak and Stone: A Book of Enai
      As soon as I saw Erikson listed as inspiration, I had to check this work out. It certainly appears to be shaping up to be epic fantasy in this tradition. There is an emphasis on description and plot as experienced by the characters that is present in these high, epic fantasy novels. That said, there are also some elements of Guy Gavriel Kay as well in the perspective switches mid-chapter and use of otherwise 'unimportant' characters to get an atmosphere or plot point across. Since all of these are authors I greatly enjoy, I have only good things to say about this promising beginning, and look forward to reading more!

          Fellows is a master storyteller. His prose transports us to a world that is foreign enough for it to be fantasy but real enough for the reader to draw many parallels with events happening in our own world.

              Twenty years on from the dissolution of the ancestral monarchy and the bitter civil war that followed, the white stone city of Nahol lies peaceful. But while mortals vie for power, the magics that comprise the very world of Enai begin to stir.
