Reviews
I finally gave up
2By Longhorn5555I read the first book, and barely decided to try a second book. My mistake. He writes well, but it’s non-stop boring dialogue and explanations. Reads like a travel brochure. Little to no action. This knight sits around sewing and yapping 95% more than he fights. It just rambles on and on,Helluva Good Read
5By Mr. AckerOne of the best I’ve read in a minute. I’d be careful about getting into it before bed though.
