Frankly, an amazing fantasy book that shows great promise as the first of the trilogy. And drinking mead, an unusual drink that seems to have fallen out of favour somewhat. It's a pity, as decent mead has a beautiful sweet taste, much like an ice wine.
This batch I found from The Giddy Kipper, THE LARP event caterers, seriously the food is amazing. All served in character with mead or ale or scrumpy. Absolutely amazing.
Anyway, at the end of the weekend they were selling off the bottles of mead they had left, there weren't many, but I got first dibs for helping to set up and clear away. This particular brand is called drunken monk well worth trying if you like an in character tipple at your event, or if you just fancy trying something different. The fruit liqueurs are well worth trying, especially with the hot weather coming up, mixed with lemonade they make a fantastic cocktail.
Anyway, the book! Takes a rather interesting spin on a classic anti hero. Remembering glory, but now reduced to a powerless man hiding from his past. But with danger approaching, can he pull himself together again?
Not going to ruin any of the plot for those of you who haven't read it yet, but I highly recommend you do.
