In this version though the chosen one is killed off very early in the book and the non chosen one chooses to take up his quest. Asalo was just along for the ride, has no desire to be the hero, and is told repeatedly that he will not succeed. Mathias the chosen one ends up coming along for the ride in a bag and at times is the comic relief in a story that could be very bleak.
The band of characters in this new trilogy are quite the group, you have the thieves who are very bad at being thieves peck and morty, you have a horse named dolt who does not like to go left and has his own opinion on how things are going to play out, and of course death makes an appearance as Myropia the reaper.
The author really calls it home with the world building there not a moment in the story where i was confused about where we were or that i could not picture. This is a five star read and i am eager to read the next book i got to know does the non chosen one really save the world or are we all doomed?
