Because the Augurs were low in numbers they used the regular Gifted to enforce their rule. The Augurs were once viewed as near Gods and their ability to read minds and predict the future saw them rule. The world building and the magic were both strong. Their homeland, by ancient powers, is separated by the Boundary from the still more ancient evil that lurks.
Let's start with the Worldbuilding work as well as the characters - The story is located on a continent divided into several kingdoms of people, who in their past have many unresolved conflicts, all accompanied by dark secrets. Each one was original, imaginative, but this one was one step better in every aspect. In the last few years, I've read a lot of serials, but none have been this great. The first word is wow! This is what best describes this epic, indeed, in the true sense of the word EPIC.
Mostly I read the synopsis, and the general grade, so I decide if this is something I would give myself a chance. Interestingly, I generally don't have the habit of flipping through reviews of other people reading before starting a new book, the more I would be influenced by their view of the series, and less because I think it will distract me from reading. We will be talking about The Licanius Trilogy by James Islington, and her first part - The Shadow of What Was Lost. We return to another review again, but this time to a brand new epic fiction series.
