Just read your first collection and probably enjoyed 'Blood in the Snow' the best, although 'A Relic of Aratania' and 'Undertow' were quite well done. The whole series was solid. Does Val finish his quest for vengeance in 'Lion of Auropia' or will the tales continue in further collections?

I'll say that when I originally started out, I intended to keep each chapter/episode loosely related to one another as I was able to tell a different story each time. With the second book in the series we find Val caught up in something much more than just his quest for vengeance, and in return, the chapters are bit more linear yet still unique in their own regard.

Book two expands more upon the events going on in the broader world, with some really weird twists and more than its share of intense battles. The "Sword & Sorcery" aspect is much more noticeable in this entry in my honest opinion. Also, you see Valengetrix grow and mature in many ways, and his character develop along his journeys which makes for some interesting dynamics that will impact future novels.

The third entry in the series is currently a work in progress but it promises to answer many of the questions from the previous two books, so stay tuned! Without giving out any spoilers, suffice to say it's going to be a wild and savage experience!(less)

J R liked Harriet's review of Valengetrix: Ghost of Aratania: "The setting explodes off the page. You feel the cold, you hear the crunch of snow, you see the massive figure of Kaleva looming like a mountain. The banter between him and Val adds charm without breaking tension. This reads like the opening to a seri" Read more of this review »

J R and 2 other people liked Lyndon's review of Valengetrix: Titan of the Isle: "Definitely a strong 4+/4.5 rating. Good S&S/heroic adventure story, a complete narrative arc, this short novel, unlike books 1 and 2 that were collections of short stories (also well done)."
