Lorik Trilogy #2
Lorik the Protector
Magic. Some seek to learn its mysteries, some seek to control it, others are touched by it and forever changed.
"He felt strange. He didn’t open his eyes but he could feel every part of his body, and they were all changing. His muscles, every fiber of them, were growing. Blood ran through his veins in an intoxicating dance. His heart beat so strongly he couldn’t believe it. He could feel it pumping the blood through his body, like a drum beating the cadence of the dance. His bones felt like iron and his mind was light, his thoughts fast and nimble, like a deer dashing through the woods."
The King of Ortis has marched to war with his entire army, leaving the people of his kingdom unprotected. Into this void comes Lorik, battle axe in hand, leading a small group of volunteers from the southern marshlands. They travel north to help tide the invasion by the Norsik raiders who come to kill, pillage, and take slaves. But it will take more than brute strength and a sound strategy to turn back the massive tribes of raiders, and the danger will threaten not only Lorik but his most dearly loved friends as well. As magic awakens in the Five Kingdoms, Lorik's world teeters on the brink of disaster and unless Lorik finds his purpose and fulfills his destiny, all will be lost.
Lorik The Protector is an action filled high adventure novel that moves at a blinding pace. It is the second installment of the Epic Fantasy Lorik trilogy and is set in the world of the best selling Five Kingdoms series.

Lorik and his friends, Stone & Vera are in great danger as the Norsik invade. Taking women and children as slaves and killing all the men they are merciless. When both Stone and Lorik are badly injured strange things begin to happen.
A great story and great characters. If the reader has a queasy stomach beware as there are a great many mangled bodies, and enough blood and guts to go around the earth many times.
While I enjoy Toby Neighbors stories a great deal (even though intestines are spilling out everywhere) I do believe he needs an editor desperately. There are a number of missing words or "waiting to be chosen" words in this volume. Also, as in previous volumes, but never mentioned, there seems to be a great deal of "modern" language usage that doesn't seem to fit. Examples: "whatever was glinting in the scarce sunlight was man made, or at least, not organic" from Chapter 35. "Watching mankind destroy for centuries has left me cynical" from Chapter 36.
I only started marking these late in the book but they are throughout. I hope I'm not being too petty here as I think Neighbors is a great author he just needs a little help.

Loric, Stone and all their new friends
Well this story just keeps getting better. The Five Kingdoms are still at it only this time it's the North that's feeling the brunt of the savages in this part of the story.
There's are many surprises in this part of the story. You will have to read the book to find out.
The author has the most entertaining way to tell his story. You won't want to put your book or Kindle or whatever you use to enjoy reading.

MORE BLOOD, GUTS, AND MAIMINGS THAN GLADIATOR
Although the story was good, I was disturbed by the amount of graphic battles. I got tired of reading which limbs were severed and how loops of intestine burst from abdomen, etc. There wasn't enough good story to offset the Gore in my opinion.
