Ancient and glorious Krona is at last in sight, its majestic domes of copper and bronze glowing like gold under the setting sun.
Yet within sanctuary's bosom a den of vipers readies to strike, the warmest of masks but a serpent's guise.
Brooding clouds and the cries of dying men are but harbingers of the storm to come. A city falling to the darkest of dreams, the edge of Hell but a nightmare away.
Oblivion's Blade is pulled free of paradox, and all of Dawn trembles as Death's Handmaiden awakens, gods of Fire and Shadow by her side.
The Void howls its eternal hunger. The final hour is at hand.
It gets four rating because there are so many errors in the editing. I was a lousy English student, especially when it came to spelling. So if I'm seeing them everybody who reads it should be noticing especially the editor! I see that whoever edited it ran spell check and if it didn't flag on anything he left it alone, but I constantly find the wrong word for the sentence all through the books and it's not just this author it's every book I've ever read, even Pierce Anthony which shocked the hell out of me!
Yes, that is true of this series! I am enjoying it as much as SEVERAL other EPIC FANTASIES. I immensely enjoy the characters as they have grown and developed so far! M. H. Johnson knows and understands world building in a major way. Creating these beings and places in your mind's eye as if an oil painting came to life... you lose yourself in his worlds via his way with words.
I started this series after first starting with the Silver Fox. It had been some time since I read the world of fantasy, magic and struggling heroes without it being LitRPG. Praise for Risen Queen that red parks the wonder and adventure such fantasy sparked in my you some 30 years ago.
I very much enjoy the prose of the story it flows it s magical in its presentation. The relationships have also come a lot closer to reality which I appreciate. I also very much appreciate that the author does not use swear words and crude language
