I totally enjoyed this book and it reminded me books like Game of Thrones (though overall less violent than GOT (thank goodness)) and Lord of the Rings. I found the fantasy world that the author created fascinating and I actually felt a bit of fear when it came to the creatures that came up from the ground to fight humanity. I felt the author did a good job of transporting me to a world where human's collaborated as one in an effort to exist, and also a world that was incredibly scary. I really liked the characters, especially Reed, and the ending left me wanting more, which is fantastic. I felt like I was watching a movie while I read this book as the descriptions were appropriately detailed and the dialogue seemed natural to me. I recommend this book for anyone who likes fantasy, epic battles, and hero stories.
