The
Charnel Throne by DL Goddard is a wonderful example of epic fantasy,
while maintaining a style that is easy to digest and follow. The
intelligent use of prologues sets the stage for a tale of an elf
finding himself, among many other things. There are no signs of
tired cliques, but instead a new and thought provoking narrative.
Nothing is too heavy handed or vague and instead gracefully tells the
story for readers who are quite used to fantasy, as well as those new
readers who may not be so aware of the genre.
Compelling
and pulling dialogue throughout almost each scene guides the reader
along the side of the interesting and well developed characters on
their respective journeys. The vast and detailed statements of
scenery map out rich visuals for the audience without forgetting
about the characters within that landscape.
DL Goddard's The Charnel Throne is a
complete epic fantasy any avid reader can enjoy.
