A thrilling epic fantasy world of magic and war.
Theo's empathic power lays untapped, but she knows of his abilities. Is she god or something worse? The only thing that’s certain: the rage and terror warring inside Theo can obliterate the Drasque Empire—if war doesn’t first.
Part one of an EPIC series
Theo couldn’t imagine the consequences when he stowed away. His freedom from Losik wasn’t worth war, but he didn’t know magical forces were waiting for him. In a time when whale oil and muskets replaced torches and swords, an ancient way of thinking still prevails, forcing men to kill other men for a chance to be king, and allowing a god and her blood magic warriors to bend the world to her will.
Momma Says: 4 stars⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Kingmaker Contest is the start of an entertaining epic fantasy series. This first book is a quick read with conflicts popping up throughout the story to keep things moving along. World building is more subtle than the norm, which is refreshing in an epic fantasy. I liked that we get to discover the world outside of Rigol along with Theo, a world of magic, war, and hope. Then we have the interesting characters. The author paints vivid pictures with his words that breathe life into his characters. The ending isn't really a conclusion, but that's to be expected with a continuing story, one that I certainly enjoyed and would recommend.
