In the ancient land of the Realms, where armies clash and heroes arise, only the most cunning and courageous can redeem a war torn land from certain annihilation. The Betrayed, Igor Ljubuncic’s epic, gritty fantasy novel, spins a searing tale of a world in the throes of war. With furious, fast-paced action and fascinating characters, this wildly inventive saga will thrill anyone who demands fantasy at the top of its game.

A war is brewing in the Realms. When the new religious sect of Feor from Caytor invades the Safe Territories, the home of the old gods, Commander Mali of Eracia scrambles to counter its advance. To that end, Adam, an Eracian prostitute who awaits hanging, is spared to join the army. In the Territories, a former criminal Ayrton and his young protégée Ewan face the threat of the invaders. Can the ruthless followers of Feor be stopped, and the old faith be saved?

As nations clash, old rivalries are set aflame and nothing seems sacred, sinister and ancient secrets are revealed. With wit and adrenalin, The Betrayed weaves a taut and textured landscape of warring factions, foes and allies, to deliver a full-on fantasy tale for the ages.

The Betrayed is Igor Ljubuncic's first novel in his The Lost Words series. As a fan of his writings and muses on dedoimedo.com, I bought this book with relatively high expectations. I am happy to say that the novel does not disappoint, and from the very beginning, I was hooked.

The novel follows an assortment of characters through the land of the Realms. The Eracians and Caytorans have been at war with each other for as long as anyone can remember. However, a rising movement of religious zealots who worship the God Feror are waging war against the God's of old. These plot threads eventually become intertwined, and the the stakes of the entire world (and then some) become much, much higher.

The Betrayed is very character-driven in its plot and focus. Adam and Armin are my two favorite characters, while King Vlad's plain insanity made me morbidly chuckle throughout. Adam is by far one of the most interesting characters in the novel, in my opinion. Without spoiling too much, his meteoric rise through the Eracian army is fascinating to experience, and although his demeanor is cold and calculated, I was constantly turning the page to see what he would do next. His dark nature is almost charming in a way. Armin is another wonderful character who stands out. A detective set out to investigate the murder of eight seemingly unrelated individuals, his hunt for the truth ends up revealing something much greater. Mali begins as an interesting character too, showcasing the strength and resolve of a female leader in a sea of men within the Eracian army. As the novel carried on however, Adam's charisma and presence in the novel almost overshadowed her until an interesting twist later in the novel.

In fact, The Betrayed contains a lot of interesting twists and turns. But they never feel forced. Igor has an immaculate way with flow, which makes the novel a pleasure to read. He is always moving from one plot point to another, from one scene of action to the next. It keeps the story from remaining stagnant for too long, and keeps the events in motion, while at the same time expounding each individual character. You are rarely given a wall of exposition describing the characters; instead, their personality and traits are expressed through their actions, with small bits of exposition filling in the holes. The novel also focuses on politics and religion, but it is very subtle in its messages and views. They're never forced onto you, but the commentary is there, which makes unraveling it all the more worthwhile.

There are some qualms with the novel, however. The book focuses on anywhere from about 5-6 characters, jumping between their stories every chapter. Though their paths eventually start to interweave towards the last third of the novel, it is a bit jarring and disorienting to the reader at times, though the reader usually has a good idea on what character's exploits will be explored in the proceeding chapter. I found some of the characters to not be very interesting (such as Ewan), or it took awhile before I became engulfed in their journey (Ayrton in particular comes to mind). The Deus ex machina device that appears toward the end of Adam's campaign also cheapens any and all tension in the war that had been built up to that point. The author's knack for keeping the story flowing also results in the novel's central weakness -- there is a lack of physical description of the world and environments the characters are in. For all the engaging backstory of the Realms, and for all the character development that goes on, I never completely felt like I was in the world. It was difficult to imagine where the characters well, and the scenery in general. The gruesome, gritty reality of violence, destruction, and the lives of citizens definitely come through, but the physical locations do not.

Overall, Igor's first novel in The Lost Words series is a thrilling, interesting read. I am looking forward to reading the remaining books in the series, and hopefully seeing the interesting grimdark world and characters expanded upon. I give this book 4/5 stars. A worthy read for any fantasy fan.

The vastness of the book's universe and the seemingly random structure make for a somewhat unsatisfying read. There are too many groups of characters in seemingly unrelated situations and the narrative switches from one to another too fast for me to invest in one or another. And just when I am getting the hang of it all, yet another group joins the fray. After a while though the continued unveiling of the world's mythology kept my interest fueled.

A peek at the global situation would have made the first part less arduous to read. Lord Erik could have told his grandson of Caytor, Eracia, King Vlad and the territories.

Not the best written fantasy novel, but it is the author's first and not so bad after all.

I heard about this through Igor Ljubuncic's blog. I found myself never disagreeing with any rants, so was excited to get stuck into the contents of his imagination.

I tend to read at night, but while I had this on my Kindle I found myself delving into it at every given opportunity, which is a good sign.

He's successfully done what most of us would love to be able to do and created a whole world from scratch, with a wealth of colourful if not always likeable characters and cultures.

My only criticism is the sometimes awkward use of language, betraying the fact that English isn't his first language. This does sometimes ruin an otherwise absorbing part of the book, often pulling me out of the world I've been enjoying and bringing me back into the room with a bump.

All in all, a great read which I can thoroughly recommend - I will be buying the follow up.

While reading this fantasy book, I could picture all the events and characters in today’s world. People behavior during difficult times is very well described.

At the beginning, it might seem little bit hard to follow all the stories and main characters. But as the story goes, you can see the big picture. They come from different places and had different past. But you can notice some similarities between them - they are really eager to accomplish their goals and want to set things right. You could say Adam is the center figure. Even though most of his decisions are smart, some of them are injudicious, mainly because they are acts of a "dead man". Then there's Ayrton, man with similar past, but has totally different point of view. He managed to keep optimism, and go further, even though he knows chances of success are quite low. And the third driver is Armin, detective who will find out all the facts at any cost. He is driven by desire to solve the problem, no matter how dangerous it can be. And the pleasure of finding out something that had been hidden for ages gives him strength to carry on and distinguish the things that must be done and things which would be nice to be done. They are in different places but fighting the same enemy...

This is very interesting book with good balance between various characters and events. Each chapter is a piece of puzzle large enough to give you some lead, but not to discover the whole picture. I'm sure you will enjoy reading this novel
