Free the Darkness (King's Dark Tidings, #1)Free the Darkness by Kel Kade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a unique vision for a story with captivating characters who hold you to the page till the very end. Reskin is an extremely interesting main character who is constantly striving to find his place within the world that he has found himself forced into. For a man who's only wishes are to prove his worth to his masters, finish what they started and to follow the rules set forth by them; number 1 being, Protect and honor your friends; it can be an extremely difficult undertaking.
Reskin is the master of every skill at the young age of 19 due to his rigorous training regimen set forth by his masters when he arrived at the secluded fort as an infant, and yet has almost zero understanding on how to interact with those he finds in the outside world. He is a man of many facets who at times can come off as having no feelings, but that is do to his upbringing that focused on such a wide scope of training but failed to impart on him how to coexist with those who lack his total understanding of the Rules. This causes Reskin to re-evaluate much of what he was taught and how he can coexist with those he finds himself amongst his travels.
For those who love a well written protagonist within a well thought out storyline, this book is for you.
