Strakul reviewed Servant of a dark god by John Brown
Review of 'Servant of a dark god' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Interesting world, characters, and story, though I've seen some better. It's a great read considering it's only a debut novel. Magic system was teased out throughout the whole book and even at the end we're still in the dark about most of it. The upcoming books will be things to look out for.
