In 2014, after years of talking about it, he finally published his great grandfather's journal of his time in the trenches of the Great War.

I received an advanced reader's copy of this book in exchange for an honest review and I am so glad I did.
Landfall is the 2nd part (out of 6) in Neil Jopson's Storm of the Nations. It takes off where Fire from the Seas left off (if you want to find out more about the setting, please read my previous review) and we follow the invasion of the small island. Again the book has a very quick pace and sometimes you do find yourself wanting more, another description or more details, but I think that is a compliment to the author. I particularly liked the way the Knights are very, human rather than almost mythical beings. The love story isn't referenced as much as it could and that is a bit of a shame.
The genius of the book, at least for me, are all the perspectives; hero and villain, but in particular Pedro and Juan who gives a different perspective, a more non-hero view if you will. I only hope Neil Jopson will take advantage of these things in the coming parts.
I really enjoyed this part of the story. I got the same feeling I've had watching some TV shows, the ones where you just want to watch "one more" to find out what happens. It'll be a long wait for me until April and the next part. It goes without saying that you should check this out if you liked part 1, so I'll just say that I really like this book and I'd recommend you to check it out on Amazon.
