     I found the warrior referred to in the title to be the most interesting of the people in this story. There are also other interesting characters and some striking, unusual factors in the plot, although most of it is standard fantasy material. The story is worth reading but it takes a lot of effort to do so. There is considerable improvement needed. As it is, like the first two books of this quadrilogy, there are way too many characters and too many different kinds of mages and gods and realms, and way too much jumping around from place to place and from time to time and way too many magic battles. The result is a story that is very hard to follow and to connect all the different places and characters and events into a coherent picture. The author should regard this as a rough draft to be replaced by a revised version which corrects the noted deficiencies. Then it will be a great story.
