Publisher's summary

War is hell, especially when you’re surrounded by enemies.

With the king of Garenland dead and the people eager for revenge, Otto and Wolfric turn their sights north to Garenland’s ancient enemy Straken.

The Northern Army marches into enemy territory, while back in the capital, Otto rushes to train as many war wizards as he can.

Outside forces refuse to leave them alone, and Otto is forced to deal with an ever-growing array of foes, unreliable allies, and an enemy that will do anything to see Garenland fall.

Can Otto overcome threats, both internal and external, to bring the war to a victorious close?

An easy recommendation

I really do enjoy the fact that the main character isn’t a “good guy@ and the fact the book shows how honor can be a detriment. The characters do act like people and does include leaps of logic and emotional reasoning. The biggest problem with this book is sometimes the dialog is stiff or stilted.

Good Series

The first book started off slow building the background. But once built the storyline, characters and narration was great.

Too Short

So far I am enjoying the series. Yes Otto(¿) makes things too easy, but unlike others he had some training beforehand. With that knowledge it’s easy to see why.

My main issue with everything so far is that this “reads” like an a bridged version. I would love each book to be two or three times longer. Similar to other authors I’ve been listening to.

Over all, there is just a lack of deft to each book.

But still planning to finish!
