The Fireblade Array #4
Blazed Union
The most horrific of outcomes has been avoided, but fate has other plans for those with fire and fury in their hearts. Silar must pay the price for his murderous act and follow his conscience, while King Tallyn of House Jade'an must come to realise the true implications of his abilities.
In Hestavos, a vile business awaits the attention of our heroes. Union is essential if they are to set things right, but that union may cause problems of its own.
Artemi's decisions of her previous lives will not be without their consequences, and fortune will not provide her with an easy tool with which to deal with them.

H.O. Charles doesn't disappoint with book #4. There hasn't been a series of books yet that make me such a horrible employee, parent or wife - b/c it never fails, once started I can't put the book down. The only complaint I ever have, is that the book ends.. so in short order I'm certain to find myself re-reading all four again because I just can't get enough. I can't even specifically say if it's the writing style I'm in love with, the characters, the environment, the concept of "Blaze" ... whether it's all of the above or just some of the above it doesn't even matter. I just simply love the series and selfishly hope that they never end. In every core character as the reader you can feel bits of yourself or loved ones; parts that will bring you to giggles, tears or all out gut wrenching horror... Great job Hadleigh, this was another fantastic read!

While I enjoyed the idea of Morghiad and Artemi growing up together, there isn't really much plot here. We get a little more about Silar (a very little), but virtually nothing about the children, which I was really hoping for. And it just ends. Each of the previous volumes felt like a novel. It had its own story while being part of the larger series whole. This felt like just random incidents and then it just stops. With each of the first 3 I couldn't wait to read the next to find out what happened. This one ends so I don't really know if I care enough to seek it out.

Yet another fantastic addition to the series. Book #4 does not disappoint. Within just a few pages H.O.Charles had me falling in love with the characters, the world, the writing and the story all over again.
I really enjoyed getting to see a glimpse of the different countries and cultures which lie outside of Calidell and I felt it gave me a more insightful understanding of the world in which the series is set. While only a small part of this book, I very much enjoyed Silar's story and upon finishing the book I was eager to find out where his story would lead.
As always, the book ends on a cliffhanger and left me desperate to lay hands on Voices of Blaze. Another fantastic achievement from H.O.Charles!

Only 3 stars this time because I felt the story only moved a tiny fraction forward and it just doesn't feel like there is an end in sight.
Does it make up for it by developing the characters ant further like Game of Thrones? No it doesn't! Silar is still the same old Silar. Artemi and Morghiad are pretty much the same even though they initially play horrible pranks on each other.
Hopefully the series picks up the pace next time or I'll be bowing out of this one.

I really enjoyed this series, I'm hoping there is another one after this book. I enjoyed the characters and how it was written. It was hard to put down. The details really made me feel like I was in the book, excellent read in my opinion. My only problem with the series was that I found multiple grammar issues like misused words or missing words making some sentences not make sense. I was able to figure out what it was supposed to be and I'm hoping they get a better editor for further books. Besides that, I enjoyed reading it and will probably read more of Charles' books.

And he's gone and left us on the cliff again!!!
I have enjoyed this series from the beginning! It has taken over my soul (#bookwormproblems) from the very beginning!
I have loved the heartache and words fraught with emotion all the way through... and this book provided the same, whilst being somewhat more humorous than it's predecessors.
From the reader's point of view... knowing what we know... it was amusing to watch our beloved characters through this chapter of their lives.
And he's left us on the danged cliff again!!!!

My favourite one so far!

What a journey. This is one of the most ingenious series I have read in a long time. Mr Charles questions every day things and then turns them upside down and spits them back out in a completely entertaining way. If you like fantasy w/sword wielding women - this series is a must read.
