The entertaining start of a bloody, high fantasy series filled with quests and action. We begin ‘Beginning of Arrogance’ by Bryan Cole being introduced to Krell, an orphan found and chosen to be trained as a paladin in the temple of RakNor, the capricious god of the seas and skies. A champion called on when needed and bestowed with supernatural ability. While there isn’t a great deal of time dedicated at the beginning to world building and setting the scene, I fell into this story easily and you learn enough about Krell, the different characters and Watford along the way. Paladins are known for bringing secrets to life and upsetting the status quo, a storyline that guarantees the reader quest, mystery and cut-throat adventure. In ‘Beginning of Arrogance’ a mystery of missing Dwarves, the investigation of a haunted ruin and a charter to search for missing fishing vessels draws Krell and his fellow sellswords into a battle against mighty fantasy creatures. I liked this action packed story, it felt like I was running through side quests with The Witcher. I liked the characters, their conflicting characteristics and fighting styles lead to clashes but also provide varied reading during the action scenes. The incorporation of RakNor and his communication with Krell gives the reader a closer insight into Krell’s role and motives, and as a character is funny at times with his erratic and surprising reactions to the action. There’s plenty more to be explored and hints of more trouble coming to Watford, I think this is a promising start to a series that will be enjoyed by high-fantasy fans.
