Five "Raging Battle" Swords
Emotional and Action Packed!
Thoughts:
Wow! Wow! Wow! This third book in this epic fantasy series was a no holds-barred type of story as the war of the Banished Lands went into high gear.
This time I am just going to give a small highlight of two main characters:
Nathair has taken his role of King way beyond a ruling as he has taken the path of meanness and cruelty as he devours the Banished Lands in war destroying anyone or anything that stands against him.
Corban is now a warrior and he continues to fight for his family and his friends. With his wolfen Storm by his side Corban feels that he can be the victor over whatever is brought his way and he can be the "hope" that everyone needs in this war.
Once again there are tons of characters and lots of moving parts within this world. There was more emotion with this book as with any war there are going to be casualties and death. There seemed to be more death than anything and some characters that have been in all the books so far up to this point fall in battle.
I had quite a "few widen-eye-hitching breath moments" as the battle went into full force and characters that I had become attached to fell in battle and even some of those that fell were killed in a gruesome manner.
The fight scenes in not only this book but the whole series so far is flawless! I do believe that this series would make a great movie franchise as all the characters are vivid and the battle scenes are top-notch.
Though there is lots that happen within this book with all the emotional upheaval with the characters and the war, there is tons of emotion near the end of the book as the author just had to wrench heart strings with every sword and axe swing! But what gave me a jolt which I never saw coming is that the author threw in a major revelation regarding the war and I wasn't prepared for that twist in the storyline and then to follow it up there is another major jolt when the author creates an emotional cliff hanger that comes close to ripping your heart out!
Now I am going to have to go grab the last book to see what happens at the end of this war and to see who survives and dies within those pages! Looking forward to finishing up the series with the next book Wrath.
