Pathfinder Tales: Forge of Ashes Kindle Edition

Years ago, the dwarven warrior Akina left her home in the Five Kings Mountains to fight in the Goblinblood Wars. Now at long last she's returning home, accompanied by Ondorum, her silent companion of living stone. What she finds there is far from what she remembers: a disgraced brother, an obsessive suitor, and a missing mother presumed dead. Yet the damage runs deeper than anyone knows, and when Akina's brother is kidnapped by ancient enemies from the legendary Darklands, she and Ondorum must venture below the surface—and into danger as old as the stones themselves.

From debut novelist Josh Vogt comes a tale of love, redemption, and subterranean battle, set in the award-winning world of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game.

Unexpected Greatness!

Unexpected Greatness!
Refreshingly awesome and unexpected writing that breathes new life into the often used RPG world setting. Vogt breaks your expectations and all of the conventional predictability and delivers an incredibly deep and thought provoking narrative. Great character development, plot line and overall writing style. The action sequences are very well written and play like a super hi-def movie in the imagination. As a veteran of just about every fantasy series out there, I can say that this is certainly one of the best singles I have laid hands on in a long time. I'll be on the lookout for other works by this author.

I was looking for a fun adventure romp in the Pathfinder setting. I got one. The characters were fun, and while the story wasn't quite as advertised on the page (it's her mother that's missing), it was like reading a fun adventure module.

Era un público fácil, me encanta la fantasía y la raza de los enanos. En general la ambientación es genial, universo Pathfinder, enanos. No obstante, se me han hecho mucha bola las partes de sentimientos amorosos entre hachazos.

Okay, so let's get one thing out of the way here: you do not need to know anything about the Pathfinder games to enjoy this book. Neither the pen-and-paper role playing game(s) or the PC games - you can go in with a complete blank slate and still enjoy the hell out of this book. But if you're like me, it'll inspire you to go check all of that out. As well as the other books in this series.

Simply put, this is an excellent fantasy novel in its own right. Author, Vogt, does an awesome job of world building for those who do not have any prior knowledge of the games. But where this book really shines is in its characterisation. You will really care for the cast here. All of them. You will find their strengths and their weaknesses and their passions not only relatable, but buyable. Again, Vogt does a great job of making this fantastical story of myth and magic a human story, first and foremost. Even when none of the central characters are human!

It's really about love at its heart. Whether it's the love triangle at the centre of the story, the love of a sister for her troubled brother or the love of a ragged prisoner for her nomadic tribe - you'll almost certainly be drawn into and become invested in all the main cast's plights.

Throw in some axe-wielding, bone-crushing, blood-spilling skirmish action, with some otherworldly sorcery, and you've got yourself one hell of a fantasy yarn.

Although billed as part of a series, it's my understanding that all of these Pathfinder books are self-contained. This one certainly was.

All in all, a very high recommend from me!
