The Nosferu draw nearer to achieving their dark ends in the fantastic Realm of Weir, with Earth soon to follow. War looms across the ill-prepared Realm, threatening the eternal soul of every creature. Human Kenneth McNary has been transported to Weir by the First Mother, tasked with uniting the Elder Race, and much more. Now, the Realm's magic continues to dwindle and Ken is hunted relentlessly by the monstrous R'Kesh. To fulfill his charge, Ken has been gifted with armor and the ability to wield Elder magic, but both threaten to consume him. With such burdens, can he reconcile his star-crossed love for the half-immortal Dalia? Can a mere human shift the balance of power among Gods in The Splintering Realm, or will the newly minted wizard fall before his enemies?
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it for anyone who likes action/adventure novels. It was a fast-paced adventure-packed sequel that left me wanting more. The group dynamic between the unique characters reminded me of the Wheel of Time and Lord of the Rings series. I particularly like the journey the protagonist, Ken McNary, is going through. He has special talents but using them comes with a large price. So the outcome of this story is more than likely not going to be based on some epic good vs evil showdown but rather a collective victory (or failure).
