Review: Spellmonger

Spellmonger by Terry Mancour
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What an exceptional first book in a series. This writing has made me a fan of Mr. Mancour and his story wrapped around the social injustice that is the common norm for the society that Min has been raised. The function of magic and the code of chivalry seem at the beginning to be at odds but Min brings all of this to a head as he alone is able to stand against the Dead God and his minions. Through his trials we see the beginnings of a great mage in the works and his tongue-in-cheek approach to life is a wonderful diversion to the real world that we live in. An excellent read and a spectacular world to get lost in. Great job Mr. Mancour, as of writing this review I am finishing up Book 3 in the series and will be updating my reviews. Love this story and love the characters and their interactions through Min's point-of-view. If you love High Fantasy, a well written story with very few editing errors, and well placed comedic interludes, than this is the opening opus that you need to read.

Review: Demonsouled Omnibus One

Demonsouled Omnibus One by Jonathan Moeller
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A really good story. Though there are quite a few grammatical and spelling errors, I try not to let that detract me from enjoying a book if the story itself is strong enough to cover for the lack of editing. This story has an interesting premise and a strong story that will keep you to the pages til the end of the book. Combining the first three novels and the first few chapters in the fourth installment in this Omnibus make this a great buy to get yourself acclimated to the series as a whole.
A great book to spend a lazy Sunday with.

Free the Darkness by Kel Kade
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

What a unique vision for a story with captivating characters who hold you to the page till the very end. Reskin is an extremely interesting main character who is constantly striving to find his place within the world that he has found himself forced into. For a man who's only wishes are to prove his worth to his masters, finish what they started and to follow the rules set forth by them; number 1 being, Protect and honor your friends; it can be an extremely difficult undertaking.
Reskin is the master of every skill at the young age of 19 due to his rigorous training regimen set forth by his masters when he arrived at the secluded fort as an infant, and yet has almost zero understanding on how to interact with those he finds in the outside world. He is a man of many facets who at times can come off as having no feelings, but that is do to his upbringing that focused on such a wide scope of training but failed to impart on him how to coexist with those who lack his total understanding of the Rules. This causes Reskin to re-evaluate much of what he was taught and how he can coexist with those he finds himself amongst his travels.
For those who love a well written protagonist within a well thought out storyline, this book is for you.
