Patrick Chabot recommended The Crucible Tree
I love backstories as they draw you into the characters and their motivations for how they act and feel. The backstories published so far pull you in and make me look forward to this book and vicariously living an awesome adventure through them.
The Crucible Tree
Ryn and Josalind are caught between rival forces that would either use them, kill them, or venerate them as lost gods returned. Their best hope lies with finding the mysterious Crucible Tree. But unlocking its secrets comes with a brutal price.
Patrick Chabot commented on The Crucible Tree
I always love backstories yet in book series they tend to creep in after the first book and I feel that’s a shame. Every word that fleshes out the past of the protagonists immerses us further into their world, their lifes, their motivations. These flashbacks are succinct but revealing and even that little bit pulls you in, wanting more. Great writing as usual.

    Flintlock epic fantasy that’s a bit dark without going all grimdark. A condemned witch and a traumatized soldier on the run refuse to become the pawns of dead gods who want to murder their parents and a living sword with dreams of genocide.
