OrcLand by Pat Daily is part of The Spark Chronicles series, which I haven’t read yet, so I’m reviewing this as a standalone novella. The book is under 100 pages, making it a very quick read that can easily be finished in about an hour.
Even without reading the previous books, it’s clear that the characters have already been through a lot before the events of this story. The novella has an adventurous feel throughout, and the fast pace keeps things moving toward a very climactic ending.
I found Morrigan especially interesting and would love to see more of her role in the earlier books. The story hints at a much bigger world and deeper character histories, which made me curious about the rest of the series.
My main issue is that I wished there had been more. Because this is connected to an ongoing series, I sometimes felt like I was missing context that would have made certain moments more impactful. Still, it worked well enough as a short sci-fi adventure and definitely made me interested in reading the previous books first before continuing further into the series.
