Larson intrigued me with his Hyborean Dragons series. I am even more enthralled with this series. Book 4 brings new horrors and magical awe. While Brand and Telyn face high-heat claustrophobia, River Folk Mari treads snowy labor among a witch, a troll, and Pliskin of the Wee Folk.
In Book 5, the world of Cymru (Wales?) is still mysterious and wondrous. Things become a bit gory and morbid but war coupled with the end days will do that to some folks. Even ancient folks. Larson's lore is entertaining and well-crafted, with his weaving of mythology from ancient legends.
"The primary motivator of all war was always the same in Cymru: The Dragons' Eyes."
By Book 6, I'm still interested in the lore and new threats that Larson gives us. Brand's berserker-style reactions to Ambros' paranoid chaos reminds me of Robert E. Howard's Conan with his steely resolve and menacing eyes. I wasn't fond of the jealousy between Telyn and Kaavi but I always enjoy a no-nonsense woman fighting for her own.
Larson's creative tales, written with smatterings of Welsh geography and mythology, as well as other folklore legends, have made for an enthralling series. Each book tends to get a bit darker, bloodier, but this 6th installment really brings out the horror of dead things that go bump in the night. Unfortunately, the worst death to witness .
