    Pretty good
  

*by B***B on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 30, 2022*

Better than expected. Started off a bit slow and the characters havent really engaged me as much as they should, especially Dar. Disappointing that Penny never learned that Hagen set up her dad and aunt so she could end him, but he met his death anyway. It is kind of weird how the elven priestesses control the day/night cycle and have such potent magic that they rule the other races with an iron hand. There was foreshadowing that Wade has found an artifact that can upset the balance of power, so its likely that he will grow his empire and magic power to eventually usurp the arrogant elves as the masters of magic.  I see that there are 7 books in this series, so I will go on to the next one but we'll see how many earn reading time as the story develops or stalls out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A Great Start for a New Series

I can't say this book is perfect, but this is a great first book from Logan Jacobs. I must admit that I've had a difficult time staying engaged with some of his stories, but this has the feel of something with a bit of staying power. For one, the concept of building a criminal empire out of alcohol is something I can't recall being done too many times (I'm not saying it hasn't been done, but I sure haven't come across anything quite like this), so it's somewhat refreshing.Also, the world isn't all high fantasy pretty like you sometimes get, but demonstrates a bit of the grit that lets you feel some of the hardship that people from history probably experienced. At the same time, it does go too overboard with it. I've been turned off from multiple series where things were just too "hard" for me to enjoy, but this doesn't do that.I honestly can't tell if they are done for humor or other reason, but some of the fantasy/magical nuances in the setting made me laugh, and I really liked the characters. I did spot a random typo or two ("cooper" instead of "copper" being one example), but these were few and far between.I can't wait for the next book!

    Good, but not great

Long review... you've been warned. Let me start by saying I liked this book. It was a fun read, and the plot, why unconventional sort  of works.That said, there are some negative aspects of the book that I just couldn't shake. *minor spoilers ahead *The pacing was brutal. There were portions of the book where the author would pause the current action in the story to go over some aspect of the world and how it relates to the character, and he will do it in great detail. I appreciate the attempt at world building, but the way the author went about it simply stalled the action and the pace of the book.Additionally, I find it odd that no one else thought to sell alcohol illegally. The United states of America abolished alcohol in the 1920s. Almost immediately after alchohol was declared illegal, everybody had alcohol... you simply had to know where to look.To say that dwarves and halflings forgot how to make alchohol in the span of 18-25 yrs? Seems far fetched. Maybe the author has a way to explain that in the sequel.The MC made some choices that were inconsistent with his character, that seemed to be just for the sake of the plot. The author tries to make it seem like the choice was made due to some love at first sight thing, but the way it was done was to weak. The attempt to cover the out of character decisions as a result of love, just did more to showcase for lack of a better term "plot armor ."That's all I have to write. I know it's a hefty review but I think it has potential and I hope the author finds a way to fix its holes.
