My Thoughts
I really enjoyed this one. I did not know what to expect, but I decided to give it a go and I am glad I did.It was all war. I like war ones!
There are 3 major POVs.
Balfruss is a battlemage who tries to keep his country safe. All around good powerful guy.
Tallandra is a princess, but no dainty miss. She is the country's spymaster and tries to sow discord in other countries to help their own cause.
And now my favorite. Vargus, a grizzled veteran who made me go all whaaat? I love going whaaat!
This idiot king is invading and has invaded lots more. All in the disguise of true religion. Grrr, kick their asses back to where they came!
Conclusion:
SO like I said, it is all war. Spying and battles. It was easyread and enjoyable. I do want more. But dang, the next book is about 4 new people?! Nooo, what about Vargus!? Must read more!
