Epic!

Having read the first book quite some time ago and after reading the first chapter in book 2, I recalled what the story was about. Although, the author had a fantastic storyline, there were some, not many, grammatical errors. It wasn't enough to distract from the story, though. Having said that, I couldn't put down the book. If you like the military time travel genre, this is a must read.

Loved this book almost as much as the first book. The intrigues were deeper, the action and fights were well written and interesting, the characters (good and evil) developed nicely with plenty of emotional growth from book one. The only thing I could complain about would be the atrocities and depravity practiced by so many people during the story. There seemed to be an excessive amount of horrible acts being perpetrated by a great many, especially within the Church.

I especially enjoyed the King and royal family's relationship changes with the Marshal as the plot developed. I loved the bit of mystery throughout trying to find out who Rowan's mother was. Also, the physical changes that Sean went through was done superbly. Definitely a series to be reading.

One star

This is a rather confusing story line but I didn't even read last the first chapter because of the total lack of editing. I have never read a book with so many misplaced commas which interfered with cadence and understanding. How this got past "editors" and published is beyond me.

A Qnique Adventure

Oft times a solitary stranger inna distant land must lend credence to his gut feelings in not inadvertently putting his Round Peg of cultural behaviors haphazardly into the Unwilling Square Hole of Expected Results Widout Consequential Reverberations.

The involvement of Sean and his personal issues was well done. This series has a lot of typos and being American some of the "turn of phrase" is hard to grasp, but overall it is a very good book and series.

Good read

Great sci fi concept, seemed to get a little ambitious 1\3 the way through, kind of muddled a bit, author pulled it all back together in the later part of the book.
