A Crucible of Souls (Sorcery Ascendant Sequence #1) by Mitchell Hogan

The book is a mixture of The Kingkiller Chronicles and HP, with a touch of Tolkien.

A Crucible of Souls

I randomly acquired this ebook and started reading it due to the attractiveness of its name and cover. But once I started, it wouldn’t let go.

It’s been really long since a finished a book in less than four sittings. I finished this one in three.

The writing is superb. It’s fast-paced. Doesn’t dwell too much on minute details. Plus the language is ‘urban’, making reading it easy and fun unlike such extreme epic fantasy writers such as David Eddings.

The book is a mixture of The Kingkiller Chronicles and HP, with a touch of Tolkien.

There are so many things to like about the book. The characters are interesting. Caldan is the perfect protagonist. Miranda is a strong female character. Plus I also like the fact the writer used PoV characters. Made it even more fun to read.

For a debut novel, Mitchell Hogan has really shown what a good writer he is. Excellent story surprisingly by a novice writer. Writ like a pro.
