Welcome back! Here's an introduction and pitch for Licanius to help you decide if it's the right series for you.

We have amazing magic systems, air-tight plots, and the most perfect puzzle of time travel! Though I'll also discuss weaknesses like flat characters and rushed romances.

This series gets compared to the Wheel of Time for it's quality and style. Though I would also compare it to Malazan for it's complexity!
Enjoy!
