Review:I wish I could rate these books 5 stars. The story warranted that rating. The characters were richly developed and memorable . After reading the omnibus collection of the first group of Frostborn novels, I would love to continue the Frostborn journey, but dread of plowing through the pitfalls of poor editing deters me. At some points, every page had one or more issues. Wrong word usage and reoccurrences of the same phrasing being repeated two or three times within a page or so were so i... Read more
Review:I gave up halfway into book 2. With all the 5 star reviews I expected more, it fell short. Main protagonist, Soren, at 20 years of age seemed like a 12 year old at times and character growth for anyone almost none at all. Only growth was during a self revelation, suddenly a little bit older and none the wiser. Not much world building either. Somewhat interesting, but I thought I already read the books most of the time, dont think I have tho. But my biggest issue was that most things happened wit... Read more
Review:The cover drew me in with its stunning beauty, but the awe did not stop there. I was very intrigued by this well thought out world & its characters. There was so much to learn along this journey, my mind happily soaking it all up like a sponge. This being one of the few necromancy themed books on my shelf I truly enjoyed Chupeco's spin. So intense & full of wonder, emotion, & a glimpse into an unfamiliar culture with an added darkness that brought fear & heartache.
As with all... Read more

Review:One of the best fantasies I've read in a long time! Reminiscent of all my favorites like the wheel of time or the inheritance cycle, this book is fantasy joy that grabs you from the first page and never lets go for a second! Geared towards older young adults and beyond, this epic tale will thrill even the most cynical and jaded readers! I voluntarily read an advance copy of this book. Read more
Review:I can not wait to get into the next book. I am and always will be a fan of Edelheit, he is a great writer, he draws you in and you find it hard to put the book down. I love novels about war or history or romans. I have been in a few conflicts myself, war is not pretty, or glorious, it is ugly bloodied and down right hourable. Any sane man would try to avoid war at all cost. The romans were the most greatest milatary power the world has ever seen and these books give you a small insight on how th... Read more
Review:This has all the elements of a good book. The one crucial flaw it is missing is character development. There is very little explanations or motivation behind any of the character's actions; it's almost as if they are doing what they do simply because...that's just what they do. Without the character development, everything is just a constant blur without context. Read more
