Olivia is moving up in the world. Between her and the First Legion, the Royal Army scored a dazzling victory on the central front that has the empire on the back foot. But the Royal Army is still stretched thin, and there are rumblings from the south that the United City-States of Sutherland is threatening to abandon its neutrality and march on Fernest’s southern border. Fortunately, Field Marshal Cornelius has a plan—he’s giving Olivia a whole army. Now Major General Olivia Valedstorm, she’s put in command of the newly established Eighth Legion. It’ll be up to her, Claudia, and Ashton to whip their army of fresh recruits into shape in time to fight off this new foe!
This was an OK read, but by halfway the word that came to mind was ‘Jumble’, it really didn’t feel like the author had a complete grip on the whole story. Perhaps in the next book more of the numerous storylines will be pulled together and seem less like spurious ideas thrown in at random.
