King of Ashes | 
Partway through. From the author of the Midkemia books but set on the world of Garn. Prologue opens with the carnage of war and I found it hard to read. It's told (in 3rd person) from baron Daylon‘s PoV - he will do the wrong thing for what he thinks is the right reason.
The book itself focuses on 4 teens in alternating chapters, about 15 years later.
humouress Could have used tighter editing (including basics like spelling etc). I'm finding that some information tends to be repeated; eg we‘re told more than once that someone notices that buildings nearer forts must be older because their builders would have wanted its protection.Generally, the writing doesn't feel as mature as it should from someone of Feist‘s experience.

humouress Small issues: often extraneous description is thrown in which doesn't seem to add anything. Each chapter follows a different character without indication in the chapter heading. You can work it out within a couple of sentences but it‘s still a bit disorienting. Okay but not gripping. Has a flavour of tales of Ancient Greece (edited) 1y
