Flashes of Joe Abercrombie-style grit . . it also boasts a modern
sensibility: an ugly despot on the throne, religious strife,
refugees, the role of propaganda . . . with likable characters and
well-paced battles, it's an accomplished tale

Abbott does his world-building on the move, dropping us straight
into prison with Xavir and broadening the scope once he and his
gang break free . . . he creates a world that's clearly rich enough
for further stories
