DEAD WEIGHT: Warrior Poet: A Tale of the Faerie War

Dead Weight: A Tale of the Faerie War #4

by M. Todd Gallowglas, Frances Pauli (Foreword)

Not all faerie tales have happy endings. In the aftermath of the Faerie War, Cendrine and Roland the Bold, race to defend the newest champion of the Unseelie court. Will they reach her before Oberon's wizard can carry Violet off to Arcadia to serve the King of Faerie's whim? And back during the war, Boy Scout must choose his course carefully. Choices create ripples that have ramifications in Arcadia and beyond. Can he come to terms with his growing bardic talents and become a man worthy of completing the Platoon's goals? Will he choose to embrace what it means to be a Warrior Poet? Bards everywhere are trying to control the strands of fate and destiny as forces from two worlds rush headlong to another confrontation, a confrontation that may very well destroy at least one world, perhaps both. Can a small, rag-tag group manipulate the laws that govern two disparate worlds in order to save both?

[Jack · Rating 4 out of 5]

Okay, so to start off with, I'll officially I'll give it a 4.5. Damn Goodreads.

I've been waiting for this book for a while now, and I was not disappointed. More Boy Scout goodness, a little bit of real world shenanigans, and tons of snark and the fandom references that I expect. Also, that ending! Woof! Like the previous books I'm hyped for the next one.

This instalment had me enthralled from beginning to end. I can't put into words how much I enjoyed this one. I cannot wait to read what happens next. The clever prose really made me smile. Can't gush enough.

Very enjoyable, fast-paced read. Not YA, exactly what I wanted.
