Best credit I've ever spent!

So, based on the author's recommended reading order, I read this book after reading Accension, which was well written urban fantasy. This story is written in the same world, and mentions some of the inhabitants of the other series, so it made sense. However, the origins of the characters came from an entirely different place than I expected! I was both surprised and amused by the references to classic sci-fi and mythology inherent here.
While I initially was curious as to the choice of narrator, because of the vast difference between his brash baritone and the previous book's mild tenor, I came to realize he couldn't have casted it better. May has the darker undertones necessary for the main character, and the fluidity to also hit on the snotty undertones of the female supporting roles. This is my second book by this author, and I'm on to the next!
Sleipnir's Heart:
So, you see the length of this short and wonder why? It's a necessary elaboration about Viktor's early days, after waking up in the Carpathians, told as a story to Kira. After reading this, you will understand more fully Viktor's bond with his ship, Sleipnir. Well done, and completely worth a couple bucks.
Rise of the Storm Bringer:
So, at the end of the story so far, I find myself relieved that the main plotlines have been tied up nicely, and the questions left unanswered are leaving the series open to continue. This is solid urban fantasy, combined with multi-pantheon mythology, combined with science fiction. While that may sound like a strange mashup, Lange has managed to throw it all together in a BELIEVABLE modern day setting! New Orleans has always been home to strange happenings, so it's a great setting for the majority of this series. Very well done, by the author and narrator.

Lamia's Curse:
Lots of action, and an interesting take on the Lamia. It's hard to review this without giving anything away, but you should absolutely read this if you're reading the series. It contains key elements to the main story arc.
Awesome series!

Another warning, and the only other POSSIBLE negative I can say about the book: there are a lot of characters (not GRRM *lot,* but a lot) introduced at the beginning, and not all of their story arcs are satisfied (yet). For audio listeners, it might help to either write yourself a cheat sheet or listen carefully so you can figure out who is who as the novels progress. I wished several times I could have backed up just a few pages to remind myself, *Wait, who was that?* Voice actor/narrator Andrew Pond does an excellent job on the narration, and he has a deep baritone to die for. (Yum!) He does a good job of altering voices to match their characters, too, so maybe losing track is on me. :)
Overall, those are my only complaints. Viktor tells his story in first person and you, the reader, know what he knows (and you don't know what he doesn't, so neeener! :-P) There are some roll-your-eyes moments, but by the end of the first novel those make a lot more sense and you say, *Oh. Well, that explains ___.* You either have to be willing to suspend disbelief for this novel or … open your mind and believe it ALL. (*cue evil laughter here.*)
Essentially, this is a FUN story. There's a lot of violence, a minimum of sex, and a lot of (intentional) hopping around from the past, Viktor's memory, to the present, to the future, etc. The characters, especially Viktor, Kira, and (surprisingly) Mir are NOT real … but they FEEL genuine. I'm starting the author's other series, (which apparently takes place in the same universe and involves crossover characters) but I DO want Book 3 of Warden Global soon!!
Wonderfully entertaining read!
