Customer Review of "The Black Banner"
Hey guys,
As popularity of "The Black Banner" is slowly but surely steaming ahead, I have noticed a new review of the book that I feel very much so describes how most people view the book after reading it (just by talking to people who have read it and other such things).
Here's the content of it:
As someone who loves a good fantasy series, I was extremely excited to pick up a copy of the Black Banner, by Evan Meekins, shortly after it was released to the public. I hoped it would be a series I could follow and re-read for years to come. I was not disappointed.
From the outset, we are introduced to an interesting world beset with a myriad of problems. There is definitely a feel that a series will develop; though some may complain that the book doesn't end with everything tied up perfectly, it makes sense; there's a greater story to be told here that can't be told in just one book. While some book series get unnecessary sequels, that won't happen with this one.
As far as the book itself is concerned, it is extremely well-done. The various sub-plots weave fairly well together and connect the story. It's quite fast-paced, very easy to read, and hard to put down. I was worried that some of the characters would be fairly one-dimensional. It is always difficult to create complex characters, when an "evil" race is made, since the author must add dimensions to them. Luckily, Mr. Meekins handles this well, making it clear that each race has mixtures of good and bad qualities; even the Elves, who, all things considered, are the "neutral" race, are hinted at having problems later in the book.
I look forward to reading the rest of the series and seeing the direction Mr. Meekins takes his characters, his world, and his story.
Be sure to check out "The Black Banner" for yourself and tell me what you think! The book is currently available for order at your favorite local bookstore (or online at Amazon) and on all major eBook services.
As always, thanks for the support! As a young author looking to making his name in this competitive business it really, really means a lot to me
