Exciting Military Fantasy

This is the second of three military fantasies set in a series by Nancy Asire. This is a straight military fantasy. Lots of swords, lots of magic and lots of medieval stereotypes. The evils are absolute and the good is also absolute. No change there in any of the rest of the books, the second, Tears of Time and the third To Fall Like Stars.There are two races, one evil and one good. The evil race wins all the battles and drives the forces of good relentlessly backwards. The forces of good are the twin of the forces of evil except for the capacity of evil. It is the ability of the forces of evil to use magic without care for consequence that allows evil to always win and good to be unable to combat the evil effectively. In this, the first book, things are beginning to go poorly for the forces of good. After years of stalemate the forces of evil are pressing forward again and nothing looks to be able to stop them. This novel covers the growth and adventures of the princes of the forces of good, as they are the hope for the kingdom.This book, as all the rest, has a wide-open cliffhanger at the end. This was incredibly annoying since there were six years between the first book and the second book and another three from that to the third, this one. The third novel is still a cliffhanger, so if you are a fan of clean endings do not read this book. It has been 4 years as of this review since the third book was written. A strong storyteller who is not as strong of an author. Very entertaining.

Great!

Not alot of words here, but, simply a great Military/Fantasy Novel. A pity it is out of print, hunt it down at your used book stores. I wish that the author had more books to read. =)
