I Read What?!

So the prologue introduced us to Niall, this book's main character. It was only a brief glimpse (and I'm honestly not sure why it was separated out as a prologue, considering that chapter one starts off in the same scene), but we at least got to see that Niall, unlike his predecessor, actually seems rather ordinary.

That may seem like faint praise, but given how Legacy of the Sword slammed us over and over again with Donal's Chosen One status, I'll fucking take it.

( I don't even dislike Chosen One stories mostly. But that shit was annoying. )
