Warden: Battlemage Book Two

Rate this book
Recently ennobled against his will by their far too evil princess, Telran Whiting finishes his vacation at home and heads for his rundown castle.

He knows in his heart the Párshan empire is building up to a major invasion, and Tel is tasked with stopping it. He will no doubt have far too few troops to do that with. That means defenses. The Párshans are desert dwellers. Tel is certain they will underestimate the power of this climate. He decides to use the river valley the Párshans must enter Seyén Vale through to his advantage.

It is likely even that won’t be able to completely deter a determined invader. That means his castle needs to be heavily upgraded as well. The wooden palisade of his motte and bailey castle is little more than a joke to a professional army. Time to make his new home and responsibility as impregnable as possible.

Knowing there will no doubt be other issues the princess will direct him to deal with which will take him away from his lands. That means he must move heaven and earth to get as much of his fortifications in place as soon as possible, before he is pulled away.

Good sequel. For the most part. Don’t really need to have the construction of buildings or quarry work explained over and over again. I know it explains the set up for the battles or ambushes go but it’s a little boring to read. Also I think it would be nice if there were some maps of the regions. Instead of just descriptions which seem over explained. I like the fact that they’re sticking with the thruple concept and not going with a harem. Also the hermathodite concept is totally new and innovative to me. Looking forward to the next book

Good Stuff

This book didn’t have as much yuck in it so it was a excellent read. The main theme of doing a good job being rewarded with more work is very prevalent. The author does forget that magical stats of endurance and stamina should govern these people more.

Good sequel

Spoiler alert!!!

Better written than the first book. Enjoyable scenes not too bogged down. The Battle For Texas river fight was mildly annoying I was looking forward to a good fight scene. Epilogue was ok but not great.

DNF, got through the first book and was hoping the writing style would improve. It did not. Lots of potential but just bland.
