About the author
Joe Jackson
22 books181 followersAs an avid fan of fantasy, I try to combine shades of some of my favorite authors' writing - Tad Williams, Raymond E. Feist, and RA Salvatore, among others - into my own world. The result is a world of rich descriptions, complex politics, and heart-racing combat.
I started writing Sci-Fi short stories in fifth grade after seeing the movie "Aliens" in the theater. After getting into Dungeons & Dragons with friends as a teenager, my interests moved to Epic Fantasy, but still rooted in a Sci-Fi alien world. The Eve of Redemption series represents the culmination of years of world-building and back-story development, much of it through epic AD&D campaigns, that takes familiar epic fantasy and brings it to an alien world.
I live in Rhode Island with my wife and two daughters. When I'm not chasing the rascals around the yard or counting beans for the boss, I'm usually imagining the next turn on the long road that the Eve of Redemption series brings.

Legacy of the Devil Queen (Eve of Redemption, #4) by Joe Jackson is the fourth book but it has not slowed down in action, epic wow-ness, or ways to please the reader. These books are epic in world building, character building, and action. The inter-play between characters are unique and believable. (Even if the characters are 1/2 demon or dragon) Love his imagination and world he has created. Can't wait if he has book 5!

Another Solid Entry In The Series, Albeit With Rocky Edges
*Legacy of the Devil Queen* is the fourth book in the *Eve of Redemption* series by Joe Jackson. In this fourth installment the author shifts the focus of the novel away from the main star, demonhunter Karian Vanador, and gives the spotlight to the expansive cast of other characters that the series has accumulated in its run so far, showing us a lot more about the people who are part of Kari's family, friends, and allies. This is a different and refreshing entry in the series, but despite of all the positives it brings, the are a number of negatives that have slipped through the cracks.
After the introductory summary, we will move onto the
STORY
Like in the first book, *Salvation's Dawn*, the main story in *Legacy* is not the prime focus of the novel by far. Its plot is actually fairly simple but it's buried underneath so many sub-plots, character arcs, introductory and reflection scenes that the story becomes apparent only around the halfway point. However, this doesn't make the main plot weak or underdeveloped, merely not on center stage; it is still a good piece of mystery, and there are a number of hooks laid during its resolution that are sure to play into future installments.
What the reader will often experience are various small stories and events, which are sometimes interconnected, sometimes not (the arrest of a particular mayor comes to mind). These happenings on the page are tied to the characters themselves, and less to the main plot, and serve to enhance the depth of said characters, as well as their relations with the world and between themselves. So, *Legacy* is to be read not for a gripping story or a tense narrative but for its dramatic and heartwarming moments between people.
The Appendix is still around. It is slightly expanded with new info but other than that, nothing is changed.
Since the focus of the novel is about people, not epic quests, let's now write about the
CHARACTERS
Karian Vanador, the main star of the series, [not so] surprisingly takes a backseat in this story. Sure, she is still given a considerable page space, and her problems and personal story are still important to the plot. But the events develop during her pregnancy, and that gives the author a logical reason to shine the spotlight elsewhere and show what the rest of the cast is capable of. And hoo-boy, are they turning out to be a forces to be reckoned with on their own.
*Legacy* is filled to the brim with characters; everybody from previous books is here. Even some minor characters manage to squeeze between pages, if only in passing mention. The narrative is constantly shifted between multiple points of view; characters often take time to reminisce, or contemplate, or talk and argue between themselves. There is a galore of personal and emotional moments: scenes with verbal fights, characters displaying new or hidden personality traits, facing and coping with mortal dangers, a family reunion, internal growth, romantic engagements, and even a couple of weddings. *Legacy* is full with down-to-earth life situations, which is something few fantasy authors ever think about. The novel puts a major importance on relationships between people, such as family, friends, colleagues, and communities working together towards a common goal.
This is what separates the entire *Eve* series from other titles in the ocean of fantasy literature; this focus, this social exploration not merely of the individual, but of how said person fits into society, how they interact with it, what trace they leave in the hearts of others, how they live and deal with the people who are close to them, and how much effort they put in understanding others. This cornerstone is what truly makes the series enjoyable to read, and *Legacy of the Devil Queen* is an aptly-named title: for there are more than one legacy being created on the world of Citaria and beyond.
And, among all this, we get to meet for the first time the father of the Silver Blades, demonhunter Corbanis Tesconis. His appearance on the pages certainly shakes things up, and for much of the novel Corbanis tries to smooth the relationship between him and his family, which is one of the central elements to this already characterization-heavy book.
After so many heaped superlatives, there's the question why the novel has four stars. Well, up until now there were only positives but now, after all the good, comes the bad, and again it is about the
TECHNICAL PRESENTATION
The narrative is still on par, as well as the tempo. But that's where the good about the technical presentation ends. There are numerous details throughout the book that contain factual errors, likely due to lack of research/knowledge. Some of them are small, like when one character remarks that an opponent is easier to trip when they make small steps (it's the opposite, as every martial arts expert will tell you). Others are more egregious, and they jarred me out of the narrative on multiple occasions, either because of poor explanation of context, or because there were more factual errors to be perceived in my personal experience.
The magic system of the setting also works a bit on the sketchy side, for example healing spells can mend rent flesh or broken bone, but cannot fix nerve damage or genetic diseases ("genetic" in fantasy, huh?). Some of those problems, particularly the latter one, exists also in the previous books but with their importance - and number - rising in subsequent installments, this is a good opportunity to talk about them. Unless the author specifically makes attempts to explain how things work on the arcane/divine side in future entries, you must take the magic system with a grain of salt. As it stands, it is not a system that works on clear principles or rules, at least where the reader is concerned.
However, all of the above-written issues are minor compared to the major problem of *Legacy*: its tension-breaking structure. The book handles multiple points of view, as was explained above, and the method of switching between them is the flaw. Every time, the same pattern is followed: A character or group of characters find themselves into danger, tension rises, and then the chapter ends on a cliffhanger; and *then*, the narrative switches to a different set of characters, who are currently doing much less exiting things. BOOM, game-set-match; the reader puts the book down to "get a rest" and finds some other stuff to do. This is a trap the majority of writers, both novices and professionals, fall into when writing from multiple POVs, so it is not a thing that can be hold specifically against this book. Nevertheless, it is frustrating when it occurs, and detracts from the overall reading experience. So, be advised: you either have to have a lot of free time, or be a persistent reader - otherwise, *Legacy* is going to be a slow read.
CONCLUSION
*Legacy of the Devil Queen* is a solid entry in the series, its problems notwithstanding. It pauses on the main story somewhat but it does so for a good reason: to give its many characters a life of their own, showing them as true persons, not merely a bunch of talking heads. The novel presents a rare beast in speculative fiction, one that strives to present how people continue their everyday lives despite whatever world-changing events may befall their society; something few writers take into account when they craft their own epic legends and heroes.
If you want to read a more family- and community-oriented fantasy fiction, then give *Legacy of the Devil Queen* a go. If you are already a fan of the series, rest assured that this book is another strong entry, despite its flaws. Just beware of its "I want to take a break now" moments.

*I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review*
I have had the opportunity to read and review the other three books in the Eve of Redemption series and I have greatly enjoyed each of them for varying reasons. I have watched Kari grow from a young and restless demon hunter to the mother-to-be we see in this book. While there are many things that remain constant in Jackson’s writing, this book demonstrated his ability to still, somehow, surprise readers with his talents some four books into the series.
The big difference between book four and the other novels is the integration of a second point of view. With a world as big and vast as what we’ve seen in Jackson’s writing, having another POV definitely provided another aspect to the story—one that was more intimately involved with the events that unfolded.
My favorite part of the story was growth in characters, especially Kari. I’m sure I’ve commented on her in each one of my reviews but I can’t help but feel impressed with her. She is going to become a mother at probably the most inopportune time. Now Kari faces a challenge that most of us have trouble overcoming; trusting ourselves and the decisions we make.
It’s a struggle for Kari to take care of herself while fighting back worries over her friends and families whom she is unable to protect as she did before. It’s a struggle for her to be so removed as she was in comparison to her role in the previous books. This sort of transition was definitely entertaining but it also demonstrated the sort of controlled complexity Jackson has as an author. It isn’t easy to suddenly switch POV’s in the fourth installment, it isn’t easy to have your main character pregnant and detached. But Jackson included such drastic changes to this story and did it very well.
Despite the major changes in Kari’s life, there is still plenty of action and edge-of-your-seat thrills to be discovered in the pages of this book. It is by no means a disappointment and has certainly become the best of the bunch in the Eve of Redemption series.
I can’t recommend this book to fantasy readers without insisting they pick up the other books in the saga as well. It will make a wonderful addition to anyone’s library but has a special place in the hearts of those who enjoy books with a strong female lead and characters who have much to lose. If you enjoy great action, war, and fantastic creatures, then the Eve of Redemption series is a strong recommendation for you.

The fourth entry of author Joe Jackson’s Eve of Redemption series opens with Earl Clyde Pendergast, nicknamed “Iron Clyde,” receiving reports of the razed town of Saffsburgh, traveling there and finding demons to be responsible for its destruction. Lady Karian Vanador, the pregnant baroness and head of the Demonhunter Order, hears this news and mulls how to handle the threat to the south whilst perpetually dealing with an alleged mole in the Order. A minor subplot involves Kari receiving an estate as a gift from the Duke of Sutherland, and planning a wedding with her mate Grakin, having had a son out of wedlock with him.
Kari sends Erik and his siblings, known as the Silver Blades, to deal with the demonic threat, joined by a paladin named Gabrius Tevone. In the meantime, the divorced patriarch of the Silver Blades, Corbanis, first visits his future daughter-in-law, after which he leaves to find his children, ultimately joining them in the fight against the main adversaries, the Demon Prince Taesenus among them. A veteran of the Apocalypse, Atauridar, the Silver Blades capture on their journey, his fate settled towards the end, along with a double marriage and Kari’s ultimate childbirth.
Overall, this is another fine addition to Jackson’s series, given its deep mythos and anthropomorphic draconic characters, with the author acknowledging Advanced Dungeons and Dragons as one of the franchise’s influences in his acknowledgements section, further thanking his religious faith, editors, and fans. Granted, some occasional reminders and kennings related to the appearances and species of the characters would have definitely been welcome, and some confusion arises later on regarding the various names of the antagonists, but those who enjoyed the book’s precursors won’t be disappointed.

Kari has a million things to do, but she's going to have to learn to delegate. Pregnancy keeps her bound to a more local, administrative job for now, which is irritating because something is razing small villages and leaving no survivors. So the Silver Blades must go to figure out what kind of creature is responsible, while Kari handles trying to root out whoever is leaking the Order's plans and secrets to outsiders. Because if she can't find the traitor, the demon kings have an even greater advantage. . .
This is mostly split between two storylines, and both are strong. The Silver Blades have what seems to be a straightforward mission, except the demon---is it a demon?--they're hunting is like nothing they've ever seen before. And it's capable of killing highly trained warriors before they can even strike a blow in return, which presents some complications to the usual strategies.
In addition, Erik's father is finally back in the picture. No one's ever said before why his parents split apart, but now we have some of the reason, and the fumbling attempts at reconciliation.
I also loved the followup on various things from previous books, whether it was the situation with the brys or how Ty can find new purpose after his devastating injuries. Kari's actions resonate in ways no one could have expected.
And I'm thrilled that werewolves play into the ongoing plot. They're an intriguing addition and I hope to see a lot more of them as this tentative alliance deepens.
The humor is also on point. Some favorite bits:
“Should be just like old times,” Aeligos said. “Hi, you two! We’re headed into a possible war; would you like to join us? It’ll build character!”
Or watching Erik's reaction to a certain mayor was also comedy gold (and Kari's letter about it is just as funny).
Or the werewolves:
“Thank God for that,” Gil said. “I’m terrible with keeping track of titles, proper forms of address, and all that. Out in the wilds, we have three titles: friend, foe, and prey. And the last is only for food animals.”
Overall this is another strong installment in an excellent series. I rate this book Highly Recommended.

To begin, I am reviewing the audiobook version of this book. The narrator continues to do a wonderful job with continuity of voice and understanding the plot points. Legacy of the Devil Queen is another wonderful offering in the epic adventures of Kariann Vanador, though this time everyone got to have the adventures while she dealt with things closer to home. I am so enjoying this series and have even gotten one of my colleagues into it. I love how the secondary characters continue to be developed into round characters over the course of the series.

It was the shortest book yet, yet I was able to finish it in a day. So it was goid.

Not the best.

*I received a free advance copy of the book from the author*
This is Book 4 of the series, and Book 3 had to give up its position on my list as my favorite Eve of Redemption book. Legacy of the Devil Queen is more dynamic, with non-stop action, a new POV (when before, it was just Kari) and some great character duos. I had tons of fun reading about Corbanis and Sharyn, and the action scenes were fantastic, as always. Erik is now my second favorite character, and I think the author did a great job with the two POVs and different character voices. 5 stars!

Whelp, this is what happens when you leave a book alone for half a year, you forget most of what is happening at the time
Here, I didn't have that problem at all. The story and characters were not overly set at looking at the past books but they still allowed me to be able to keep up with what was happening at various points
Bloody well written and also really enjoy the way that the characters and places were used
Now, on to the next one because I love and enjoy this series
Peace out

This series is very interesting and fun read for me! I think it gets better with every book Joe writes. Book 4 is just as good if not better than the others books in the series. This book/series gives me a lot of action and we still have our great characters that we know and love in the story. I enjoyed the imagination and world this author uses and creates with all these books. * I received this book from the author---this is my honest review*
