Peter North has been writing "serious" SF&F adventures for many years, under another name. But there's only so long a guy can be serious before he starts to go a bit mad.
This is where Peter comes to play.
Inspired by Sword & Sorcery of old and HaremLit of new, Peter North's books are a place where men (and open-minded women) can come to experience the intersection of Fantasy and fantasies.
Another great book from Peter North!! Lazarus and his buxom companions root out a gaggle of Sanguiana’s corrupted followers and we learn more about the subterranean spiders. Fun read, packed full of adventure. But…the cliffhanger at the end…now he needs to hustle up with the next book. More work!! Less sleep!! More work!! Less sleep!! More work!! Less sleep!!!
Peter North is a master. He sets up all the elements for a cataclysmic battle, then follows through with an intricate, intense, satisfying conclusion. This is fantasy at its absolute best. For all who want a story of epic proportions, read the Blood Rites series. I can’t wait to read the next book (and the next…who knows?!). 5 stars, recommend to all.
This book resolved a lot of the concerns I had with the last book. MC and FLs progressed a lot, but together. The prospective changes seemed much better than previous book … much smoother and better flow, I think. Really enjoyed this book.
