Mark W. Walton
2.0 out of 5 starsFair.
June 8, 2016
Lots of action that's for sure... But the opponents are consistently weak and inept. There's not much tension in any of the battles. And, truth be told there's little here except fighting. Worse, many things are repeated and repeated a lot!
Nor are the characters much fun, just cardboard hero types surrounded by stereotypes of bluff hearty yeoman archers, and dully stupid or evil others.
The writing is workmanlike, and mercifully low on typos and misspelled words - much better than the average Kindle read.
On balance there's not a whole lot to like here -but it reads fast.

Very two dimensional. No tension, no character growth...not much of anything really.

Its a simple book series without too much going on. Pretty boring after the first few chapters and once you realize the same things continually occur.

2.0 out of 5 starsQuick but not great
December 17, 2018
Format: Kindle Edition
Book very quickly got repetitive and failed to explain character motives of develop beyond initial introductions. Also, all points of view are supposed to be from scrolls, yet some are from characters who die immediately after introduction.
