The Left Hand Of God

One of the more interesting series. The author takes the classic young prodigy destined to change the world conceit and plays around with it in some new ways. For one, he makes the world a pretty dark and brutal place with the early parts of the story detailing the hell on earth that is the protagonist's life. The characters are interesting as are some of the relationships. Some good potential with this series. One of the more interesting pseudo alternate history fantasy books. Definitely worth reading if you like your fantasy dark and you enjoy reading about the boy with a destiny type of fantasy, but one that's been remade into something new.
