For example, did you know a myth is a female moth? Or that Queen Elizabeth's navy defeated the Spanish Armadillo? It gets more and more funny the further you read!

So how is this book different than all of the other fantasy novels on the market? The character development. Korendir is a complete mystery character, and no clues to his background are even given until 2/3s of the way through the book! Even though he has no background, Korendir has an astounding amount of depth to him. He becomes a truly human character. Plus, Korendir is extremely intelligent and resourceful; he can get out of any situation by intellect alone.
The setting, the plot, and all of the other characters in it are also very well-written. Haldeth, Korendir's only friend, is another fascinating character to follow. The world it takes place in is a true fantasy world, but it still has an almost disturbing touch of reality to it. As a writer, I love how this entire book developed and described this intriguing man called Korendir.

This book is incredibly complex. Ruins of Ambrai is not book you can skim or skip chapters in; it is a book in which every paragraph contains valuable information on the characters and the plot. And the amount of characters can be confusing at times, which is why the back of the book has a complete genealogy chart showing the past four generations. Yes, this book is complex, but it is still worth reading!
The characters is this book are very impressive and well-rounded. The three Mageborn sisters that the book revolves around are followed from childhood to adulthood and they have very unique personalities. The roguish bard Collan is another fun character, who is very independent considering a man's status in the world. A man's status in the world, you ask? This world and the politics and wars upon it are all governed by women -- men are considered inferior.
If you love magic, complex politics and bloodlines, and a fantasy world in turmoil, this is a book for you! Order Exiles: Ruins of Ambrai today!
