Gen was a bard's apprentice, his nimble hands meant for the lute and his voice for a song. Then the half-mad and completely bored Shadan Khairn invaded Gen's village to winter there and start a war. He shoved a sword in Gen's hands and tormented his body, shaping a bard into a warrior to be killed for sport. As the days of torture pile up like the snow, Gen searches for death. But the day is at hand when the shattered shards of the world will knit together again, and the world's slain god will be reborn. The mighty Ha'Ulrich will be the father, the mysterious Chalaine the mother. In dangerous times the holy couple doesn't need a bard. They need a warrior. And Gen needs a reason to live.

I read about 120 books a year, this is top 5.
By David L Young
I just read all four books but I'm not going to write about them all, no need. Once you read the first you will read the rest...
One of the best parts of this book series is the main characters isn't stupid like a lot of writers will make them in order to create problems for them to predictably bumble in to while the reader gets frustrated.
Top 5 I have read this year
Others in its company this year (so far), In no order:
Into The Abyss (Demons of Astlan Book 1) J. Langland
Words of Radiance (The Stormlight Archive, Book 2) Brandon Sanderson
Contractor (The Contractors Book 1) Andrew Ball
Call of the Wolf (The Kohrinju Tai Saga Book 1) J P Nelson

A Book that is at times Exhilarating and Terrible
By TexDim
Talk about mixed feelings about this book series. And yes I am reviewing the entire book series. The problem with this book series for me to review is that there are some truly TERRIBLE parts in it. Whether relationship wise, plan wise, ignoring important plot features altogether, or even leaving out critical detail. But at the same time there are some incredible bits.
Let me give an example without major spoilers. Someone important to the main character dies protecting them. They get literally ONE SENTENCE mentioning the death and that happens days after it happened (he was executed). The main female character is hardly heartbroken over the loss of such a dear friend. This happens several times, the author just throws away important characters like they are used pieces of tissue paper, giving no more then a sentence or two describing what should be heart rending grief over their loss.
The main male character is an unforgivable Mary Sue who always has an answer to any problem and pulls solutions out of his butt like he's been taking IV's of X-lax. "Maewen the half elf is here, its too bad no human has spoken elf in hundreds of years. Oh wait! Gen knows half elf because his magic pebbles taught him how to speak it even though through the lengthy Rocky-esque training sequence that dominates a quarter of the first book makes no mention of it."
"Oh hey, that demon is speaking in a cursed language so obscure not even the pope knows it...and there's Gen bantering wordplay with a holy language that has been forgotten for hundreds if not thousands of years." and still, four books and no justification for that is given.
Gen has a personality that can best be described as how cardboard tastes. He makes an almost herculean leap in character development over the first half of the book, turning from socialite bard wooing woman and pranking the latrine of the local noble, to becoming the greatest warrior who ever lived but is detached from the world emotionally and funnels all pain and misery into the hollow of his soul that got gutted by the evil warlord who eventually comes back and becomes bestties with Gen before being killed and tossed away like tissue paper, to be fair HE FREAKING DESERVED IT. And while this is quite an entertaining bit of character evolution and the sad protagonist, while overused, is an entertaining trope the problem is that after the first half of the first book there is only one small hop of evolution where he goes from introvert to somewhat extraverted. After that there is absolutely no character evolution at all. Gen at the end of the 1st book is the exact same Gen at the end of the series, an overpowered badass with a lobotomized emotional cortex.
Gen is a tragic hero, but he's not the Kylar Stern, Sansa Stark, Tyrion Illeniel type of tragic. You know that flavor of tragedy where the characters are drowning, trying to frantically doggie paddle their way to shore in a typhoon of really terrible events and all you want to do is throw them a life preserver. No, Gen is the kind of tragic character that walks around with a flag saying "TRAGIC" in big bold letters handing out pamphlets on all the bad stuff that has happened to him. He shoves it in your face and at some point it becomes either a. uncomfortable, or b. annoying.
Gen is the greatest swordsman in the world...just like Dorian Thornbear, Kylar Stern, Drizzt, Falcio Val Mond, etc etc... Lord that trope is boring. The reasons why those other characters were entertaining wasn't their swordplay it was because of (in order), their relationships, their struggles, their stereotypes, and their despair.Gen has almost none of these and is trying to ride out the tidal wave of his own tragicness like a surfer but in the end it looks more like trying to waddle in a puddle. Yes tragic heroes are entertaining, but after three books if that's all they still have going for them then they are boring.
The author tries to bite off more then he can chew. He creates the greatest swordsmen in the world, before Gen owned that title, (second only to the brutal maniac that trained Gen) and already you are thinking, "hey that'll be a cool final boss", except he's dead two thirds of the way through the first book and the author desperately tries to find even bigger challenges but few of them can be solved by chopping them down because he already established Gen is the best in the world,and so now we are left with the world's greatest swordsman and no one to kill, and its not like his paper mache personality can hold up the story all on its own.
Also the love quadrangle, that sometimes shows hints of becoming a pentangle is almost downright hilarious. Three woman are clearly in love with Gen and a fourth shows interest and overrall it seems like something that got ripped out of an anime. Especially when after a near death experience the three woman in question go up to Gen and one says (paraphrasing), "You cannot die because we all care so deeply about you."
The system of magic while entertaining is never explained really and the godlike abilities of the main character is never really tempered with anything other then the usual "it makes him tired". He just gave a dozen trained men aneurysms, there is nothing they can do about it and the penalty against that is the same penalty I get when I eat too much Turkey at thanksgiving?
I keep on trying to write the good parts of the book but every time I do I have another bad thing to add.
The world building is pretty good though rather vague. Either I missed it or the author never really explained it explicitly but from gathering up all the little pieces of clues throughout the series there was a huge disaster circa 250 years before the events of the story take place where one of the three moons became eclipsed permanently. Never mind the impossibility of this astronomically wise but because of that the world fractures into floating land masses that float around in...well originally I thought it was space but there is clearly air in the space between the shards so maybe its like those floating islands in Avatar? People get around by portals that connect the shards.
The female protagonist who has no normal name but instead goes by the title "Chalaine" shows more character development then any other character in the story, although I doubt that was intentional and more just something that sort of just happened. Despite this at the end of things she is still sort of useless in a fight. Even after wearing the magic pebbles for the better part of a few months, giving her greater speed, strength, and stamina as well as turning her into a supposedly good swordfighter she is still useless unless Luke Skywalker, wait I meant Gen, comes in and saves the day.
The character who shows the most evolution is the overzealous good guy who does more evil then good. Going from devoted leader of a cabal of mages, to advisor of the most powerful idiot in the world, to unwitting servant of the main bad guy, to penitent and humble good guy in the very end who regrets all his past actions. He was by far one of the more interesting characters because he kept evolving and he was very smart.
I will say this though, the girl Gen ends up with was not the one I was expecting that's for dang sure. Its pretty nice when the female character introduced in chapter 3 isn't the one the main character ends up with. I'm looking at you Mort Illeniel and Kylar.
If I had to sum up how it felt reading this series it felt like a McDonald's meal. It felt like someone took every trope, mashed it to paste, fried it until all the juicy bets were left in the draft bin. Then served it on two buns. The meal was good but it lacked anything innovative. Still at the end of the day the fries were still good. Trysmoon is a decent series but the thing that killed it was how little the deaths of so many interesting, important, and father-figure like side characters meant to the main characters.

Take a chance, well worth it
By juxta_posed
I got this book under Kindle unlimited, at the time I was skeptical as there were only one or two reviews. I must say it was beyond a pleasant surprise! The characters are well written, they may act a little naive at times, especially considering how brutal the world is around them, but all in all excellent.
The world is well built, some more explanation of shards and how all that works would have been helpful, but as you read you should be able to figure it out.
For me the best part has been the plot and pacing of the book, it doesn't really follow your typical fantasy story arc, there are lots of twists and surprises that really helped keep me hooked. I liked the book enough that I bought the next three as soon as I finished this one.
