Forfeited

Legends of the Forsaken Empire #2

by R.J. Larson

A NEW SERIES FROM R. J. LARSON! Legendary creatures have emerged from ancient realms to stalk mortals. Words, long forgotten, are spoken for the first time in a thousand years, and the soul of an ancient forsaken empire is stirring to life. One family has been entrusted with a treasure that endangers all who possess and understand its mysteries—no one is safe. More than a thousand years after the fall of the Syvlande Empire, a humble cleric, Brother Davin has escaped his order with a forbidden book—the ancient Rone’en. As Davin translates the sacred texts, terrifying truths emerge, defying the realm’s spiritual stranglehold over its faithful. The lives of all who accept the Rone’en’s sacred words are forfeited—including Davin’s cherished pupil, Julaiin Valo-Treor.

[Glenn · Rating 2 out of 5]

For me, this was an okay book, which is disappointing as all the other books by R J Larson have been 4 stars. I found this book slow, without the intensity of the other books that have been written by R J Larson. Characters were likeable, but until the end, there was very little suspense or drama. It seemed to meander along. I hope the next book in the series is better...
