Synopsis: In a macabre ring-world forgotten by time, a tournament is to be held, a tournament thought to never plague the divided kingdoms of Aeden again. A band of unlikely friends will test the perils of hell and taste heaven's forbidden fruits. But who stands behind this tournament and more importantly why now? Ten thousand will fight for riches beyond their dreams, six kingdoms will be the devil's playground, and only one will survive, but none will be left standing in the Tournament of the Lost.

Review: For the most part I thought this book was pretty good. The book had great detail and world building. The book had good character development and writing. The book also had an intriguing plot and overall I felt compelled to continue with the story.

However, I did feel like the book was a bit too long. The book had a bit of “Stephen King-ism” i.e. long winded and sometimes too overly detailed. The book would have been better split up into two in my opinion.

Verdict: I thought it was good, just really really long.
