The Archcrusade: Tome One (The Archcrusade Series) by K. M. Hogenson – Review by Audrie Harrington

The Archcrusade: Tome One: The Archspawn – Pilgrimage & Prophecies by K.M. Hogenson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I didn’t realize the length of this book (about 1300 pages), but it was well worth the read. There are maps in the beginning which are helpful, but a list of characters or a pronunciation guide for some things would have been great too. The author really spent their time building this world and all the characters in it. This is a multi point of view read with hundreds of characters and I had to remind myself who some characters were sometimes. The story has multi-layered plot lines filled with kings, magic, warlocks, demons, mythical creatures and more. It was slow to start but once I got hooked on the story and started liking the characters then it took off and got easier. I really like Basil, one of the main characters and healer apprentice, as we follow him as he makes friends and spends time away from Master Watercress. There is a lot of action and each chapter gets the reader more hooked to see what is going to happen. Even with as long as it was, I am looking forward to reading book two.
