I'm always a little bit wary when starting a book or series by an author I haven't read before, especially when the majority of the reviews are praising the book, however, the upside of that is when I find the praise is warranted, which in this case it most certainly is.
There have been multiple scenes and characters in these books that reminded me of other series I have read, The Wheel of Time (Robert Jordan), The Sword of Truth (Terry Goodkind) and The Banned and the Banished (John Gwynne) immediately come to mind, though whether they influenced the author is Impossible to say without knowing if he has read them, but if you have, and enjoyed them, then you most likely will enjoy this series.
The writing style is relaxing and easy to read, with fascinating characters who have interesting personalities and are generally likeable, and which are developed as the books progress. The plot is also engaging, mysterious, and intelligently thought out, and instantly gripped me.

Of Blood And Fire: The Bound and The Broken: Book 01
Born in fire. Tempered in blood.
Epheria is a land divided by war and mistrust. The High Lords of the South squabble and fight, only kept in check by the Dragonguard, traitors of a time long past, who serve the empire of the North.
In the remote villages of southern Epheria, still reeling from the tragic loss of his brother, Calen Bryer prepares for The Proving – a test of courage and skill that not all survive.
But when three strangers arrive in the village of Milltown, with a secret they are willing to die for, Calen’s world is ripped from under him and he is thrust headfirst into a war that has been raging for centuries.
There is no prophecy. His coming was not foretold.
He bleeds like any man, and bleed he will.
