The strength of a tenuous coalition is tested, once bitter rivals now prepare to rid the Green Sea of slavery. A small island provides an opportunity to solidify their alliance.
Opposing them, the Shades await. The monstrous beasts hide their faces behind helmets with evil smiles, though they seem more alike than humans would believe.
Beliefs and prejudices are challenged when new, gruesome weapons hit both sides of the battlefield. They must fight against the elements and incompetent leadership on a mission between the rock and cloud.
I really liked this book! Being a grimdark novella about war, the author captures that essence without being overly descriptive with the battles, and even has time to throw in some deeper themes in the mix. It's always great to read battles that highlight the hardships of it all.
And to my great benefit, I discovered that the novella is free, so if you want a nice, short read, I'd highly recommend this one!
Great book, there was plenty of action in it. It's really gory and violent in places and has several grimdark characters in it. It has a bit of a First World War- Battle of the Somme kind of theme which was interesting as it wasn't the usual medieval kind of fantasy
Love this book; it was very humorous, yet serious. I very much enjoyed reading this book. Every moment either had me laughing or in deep thought! I would highly recommend!
