You all ready for a historical fantasy rec?
This series was a very interesting read for me. 😊 I’m a big fan of fantasy—historical, urban, contemporary, I like them all—and this one was different but very entertaining. Imagine The Last Kingdom with a twist.
Jay Veloso Batista is amazing at creating the setting of his world. His descriptive explanations and narrations help the reader get a feel for the world he’s created. He’s put in a lot of effort to keep his series as close to historically accurate as possible and he deserves major credit for his efforts. You can see the history as a reader with the depth he’s created in this story.
I should warn you, this isn’t a series for your kids. The first book starts off tame but it moves into the PG-13 level as you get further in. There’s violence and some graphic scenes.
The Forerunner series contains multiple points of views which helps to tell the story from all directions. It took me a second to grasp everything—which is why I really appreciated the italicized text to differentiate when Finn is in astral form as opposed to physical.
Thorfinn and his brothers have a run-in with a witch. To protect his family, Finn battles the witch which is how he becomes a vardoger—someone who lives an average life during the day and travels as a ghost by night. There’s a bunch that happens but you’ll just have to read it and see what you think. 😁
