I was often asked to make game-altering decisions a sentence or two after meeting a new set of characters, something which I found more frustrating than exciting or intriguing. While it’s exciting to get lost inside such a world, I found myself dropped into the middle of an epic story with very little help me navigate the massive backlog of lore, history, races, side characters, and kingdoms. The story within Ash of Gods is huge, complex, and reminds me of the writings of Brandon Sanderson, both in theme and in scope. The signs that a Reaping will come have already manifested: people are being affected by searingly painful ulcers on the back of their necks, a curse which turns men into violent lunatics, and the appearance of a strange, murderous, masked race known as the Ense. The Reaping, a phenomenon which has previously killed one in three men, is about to return, though this is predicted to be much worse, as this Reaping is believed to be the last, and will leave neither man, woman, nor child alive. History is set to repeat itself in the land of Terminum. Ash of Gods is an impressive undertaking in every sense, featuring a robust story, plentiful characters, a complex battle system, and a truly gigantic world.
