Damnation: A Grimdark Fantasy Political Drama

Damnation: A Grimdark Fantasy Political Drama Damnation: A Grimdark Fantasy Political Drama by Igor Valec
My rating: 3 of 5 stars


Crown Prince Asuf is taking on his father King Lortar and has aspirations to marry Princess Alerise of the Kinslayer cult. He makes this move without his father’s consent or cares to the political implications for the union. The story opens up with an action scene to pull you in quickly with a battle between a few humans and apes. From this point, this medieval dark fantasy story takes off at a rather rapid pace.

The author did a great job of developing the characters and creating them as more than one-dimensional beings. The story could get a bit overwhelming if you don’t pay attention because there is quite a bit going on. While this one, not my normal read, you cannot deny the author’ s talent for creating an interesting world with the descriptive language used to build out this complex story that serious fans of political dark fantasy stories will enjoy. The familial betrayal, battle scenes, a multitude of interest characters, including monsters/ creatures make this the perfect book for those who like stories like Game of Thrones.
