This is particularly evident when Mithron’s father disapproves of his son’s choice of fields of study in this conversation with Larshon as follows, During an interview with me, David stated he was raised by strong women, which inspired this focus. One of the more interesting facets that I didn’t expect in fantasy (nor sci-fi for that matter) is the focus on the limitations of traditional gender roles. During his first year, Mithron hardly even practices magic, for instance, spending his time reading and preparing his body and mind to accept the power. This requires a more subtle approach to the art of storytelling than just throwing fireballs, and one that he has under command. David believes much of fantasy skips over the apprentice years so he wanted to focus on them, providing a unique niche for the book. The book focuses heavily on the process of learning magic. It’s part of a new trilogy told in first person through a young necromancer eye's, Mithron. Necromancer’s Lament is a new fantasy novel by David Balog launching on October 30th, 2020, published through RockHill Publishing.
