Publisher's summary

The road to becoming a Doan warrior is a long one.

While Cam must face distrust and long days of training, he also attracts the interest of Uelia, the beautiful Festival Master of High Home.

His acts of bravery swell his fame and the jealousy of his brother. With winter approaching, the people of High Home decide to cross the Long Dark to see what’s on the other side.

What they find splits the Doans and the people of High Home, and Cam and his new mother are faced with an awful choice: leave the people of High Home to suffer or flee with their Doan companions to find their people?

What happened???

Where did it all go so wrong?! Honestly, I was awestruck by the Trysmoon series, and by Flametouched—the characters and their interactions felt so real, and, for the most part, made sense.
So, HOW did this high school level garbage make the cut?? Sound-reasoning was virtually nonexistent, dialogue was constantly painful, and nothing made sense.
(Slight spoiler warning)
The society that the mc is raised in literally sacrifices their weak and infirm to a deep pit, hardly anyone bats an eye, and, yet, when the mc and a certain ranger find a new group of foreigners trying to sacrifice other foreign folk to a giant lizard, they’re both indignant that people could do such a thing, and then they rush to the rescue… what??
Also, the MC’s brother is goes from being willing to sacrifice himself to save his twin, to then not caring one bit when some random newcomer declares that the MC (and all Doans) need to die? I’m trying to be sparse on the details, but goodness gracious! Seriously, nothing about any of the characters or their reasoning made any sense… and the MC kept leaving himself and his friends/family open to ambush and betrayal.
SO disappointed, Brian… your writing is Far, FAR better than this! This series is just lazy, and unworthy of your skills!

"Clive Barker during his Hellraiser days"

This story is gross because of the way the "bad characters " search kill their enemies. Skin pouches & monsters stealing eyes, noses & tongues 👅 from the good people? I bought the entire series, but I was unable to finish the 2nd book. The MC could/would not leave the people who raised him, even though they were horrible parental figures. The leaders & their kids in his community called him bad names & bullied him all his life. When the story started describing how blood, skin & other things were taken off dead bodies & reused.. I had to stop the story. I don't want this stuff in my head, period. I hope the Author can forgive me. if he'd just left out all the Clive Barker wanna be stuff, the story was really great but please leave off the gory stuff.
