Two continents at war, the Three Kingdoms and Ishara, are divided by
past bloodshed. When an outside threat arises—the reawakening of a
powerful ancient race that wants to remake the world—the two warring
nations must somehow set aside generational hatreds and form an alliance
to fight their true enemy.

This was our book club
read for October, and from the description it sounded like it would be
pretty good. I actually had pretty high hopes for it in the beginning,
but the story ended up getting bogged down by way too many character
points of view—quite of few of them unlikable—and not much ended up
actually happening. This is the first book in a series and clearly it's
one of those books that sets things up for future books. The problem is
that I just didn't really care. There are also some pretty dark
happenings. Mostly not described in detail, but some were more than I
wanted to read. I feel like it's maybe wanting to be a Game of Thrones type book, which isn't my cup of tea.
