Thank you NetGalley for this ARC!

War Of The Seven by Brad Towers is a truly amazing read that pulls you into the world of Ethasar right from the start. The depth and richness of this fantastical world are stunning, and the original music included in the book makes it even more special.

The story is about a huge conflict where the fate of the gods and their kingdoms is at stake. One of the best parts of this book is the nine original songs that come with it. They add a unique touch and help recap key moments in the story, making the whole experience more immersive.

War Of The Seven strikes a perfect balance between being epic and easy to follow. It avoids the common problems of overwhelming information. Each chapter is clear and relevant, with smooth transitions and memorable characters, making it easy to stay engaged.

The different factions in Ethasar are all fascinating, especially the vampire nation. While I initially thought the vampires would be my favorite, I ended up loving all the factions because of their great characters and storylines. The gradual introduction of the factions and the helpful visual aids, like the crossed-out names, make it easy to keep track of everything.

The book honors traditional epic fantasy elements while adding its own unique flair. The female characters are strong and well-developed, and the story keeps you hooked from start to finish.

Overall, War Of The Seven is a fantastic epic fantasy. Brad Towers has created an incredible world with unforgettable characters and an engaging plot. This is hands down the best fantasy novel I've read this year, and I can't wait for the sequel. A solid 5/5 stars! This series is bound to become a favorite among fans of epic fantasy.

When I seen the cover to this book, I thought now this appears pretty frigging awesome.

So I downloaded the book and dug right in!

Brad powers War of the seven has a unique concept, On the surface the prologue is reminiscent of the pantheon of Greek gods, having a trite discussion While powers' and Greek gods are cool, their conversations, regardless of topic, are simply corny.

Fortunately for powers, that's mostly where the corny ends. The characters are plentiful and varied, with humanistic and somewhat interesting personalities. With 3 champions from seven realms and a cast of minor characters, it's a little difficult not to strike pay dirt with at least one character.!

Unfortunately the adventure felt rather predetermined and the story rather linear, so it didn't capitalize on what could have been a much better use of the idea. It didn't lack creativity and the settings were vivid, and colorful.

This is a good effort, but overall fell a little flat. It was still a fun read, and read I did because it wasn't a challenging go through. I feel this could be OK for middle school/high school audiences as it's not very dark no is there gratuitous sex & graphic violence. But as for adult reading, it's a little on the light sside.

The realms' chanpuons each have a unique story, and personality that only Teeters on the precipice of boring from time to time.
