This is not the typical fantasy novel

Great world building & character development. Innovative, knowledgeable and create use of language. I can't wait to read book 3. I am also anticipating the Europa focused book due out in 2026. Please don't go out of print again! A friend has been trying to share these audio books with me for years. I am glad my wait is over.
