“The Heirs of Lydin” is a fantasy journey of truly epic proportions. Hennessy weaves together immense world building alongside a large cast of main and supporting characters, with a magic system that, while familiar, still feels right at home in the world Hennessy presents to his readers. The story does follow the formula you see most often in these hero journeys with a “prophesized one” but I didn’t mind it as I liked the mystery of who the true Heir of Lydin was, and why if the Heir is supposed to be some sort of savior character that the people this prophesized hero is supposed to lead, would work so hard to kill the Heir before they could fulfill whatever this prophecy is. While I enjoyed this epic fantasy, there were a few things that kept me from really loving it. But Hennessy does include elves and a slew of other fantasy based creatures in his world, and you know me, I’m a sucker for elves.
