The world cares not for heroes. It will bend and break their will through the maddening chaos of its existence. It will drag their dreams across its sandy crust, crushing hope beneath the weight of its rocky bones. The world cares not for heroes. It destroys them. Follow the continuing stories of Evercloud and Densa as they battle the evil that threatens them both inside and out. Will they succumb to the darkness they hold inside, or will they find the strength to give the world a war cry.
The Everflame saga continues in this book with a quest for gifts that will aid in the defeat of the Tyrant. There are tragic deaths, hopeful rebirths, and, in the end, apparent tragedy, which shouldn’t surprise us since we have another book to read. The story line is simple but well told. The characters are likeable. The thread of redemption that runs through the story is evident but subtle. This is not a great book but enjoyable from beginning to end.
No one told me there was going to be a fourth book! Damn you Dylan Lee Peters!!
I don't know what it is about these books (because as an indie series it does have its faults [seems to suffer from being too long and the occasional formatting/spelling/sentence structure errors]) but it totally has me hooked! Normally the "too long" issue drives me nuts, but this series is too good to let go of just for that!
A perfect book to power through on the train, and also to get my mind off of some of the drama of life! (Really, this book is transporting in such a good way!!)
I guess I'm off to buy book four now! (If its even out!)
Here is pain here is suffering,here is death. But more importantly here is HOPE!! In the pages of this book through thound the lives of its characters you will find all of these things. In your mind you will feel all of these things. Because of the authors portraits of his his characters. Now you must read the next to find how the hope defeats the evil all around them.
I am still in love with this series, but there is so much going on and so many characters by Book 3 I did find myself having trouble keeping things straight. That is why I gave War Cry 4 stars instead of 5. I do like that Peters continues to create complex characters who do not fit the mold of all Good or all Evil. This series has a strong theme of redemption and forgiveness. I look forward to reading the final book!
Some stories lose impetus the longer they run, but this one just hits high gear in this installment. Peters continues to provide an entertaining tale that adds even more to the existing mythos. The only downside for me was that I found points which could have used a little more fine tuning in terms of grammatical editing... I'll admit it's a personal preference to avoid using "off of" which Peters uses a lot...
Very very good. Excellent. It seemed a bit short from the first two, but definitely worth the read!!! Leaves the reader wanting to read the fourth book. Definitely starting it as soon as possible!
