Bonds of Promise (The Kallattian Cycle #1), by Andrew D Meredith

Bonds of Promise is the introductory book to the Kallattian Cycle, the epic saga from Andrew D Meredith. It is a really solid work that serves as a way to introduce the foundational pillars to what it aims to become a high-scope book series, fulfilling that job in a length that is not usual for the genre, as it is shorter than the usual fantasy book (200 pages approx).

Below are my nine (9) from the slush pile. It’s probably I read a little bit more of the 20% if I like the book (actually it has happened).
