Fantasy Author
/noun/ someone who has difficulty with reality
The world building is comprehensive without being overly tedious. I wish more authors would be as mindful avoiding exposition dumps to explain a single aspect.
Praise & Reviews
His characters are relatable, even in a fantasy setting, because they are deeply flawed. I found myself cursing at the heroes as much as the "big bad".
I read the first two Children of Ingvald books back-to-back. They were hard to put down. To be honest, I usually skip paragraphs without dialogue when I get bored reading, but that didn't happen this time. I wanted to read it all.
