Her Majesty's Warlord

Stuck In Magic #2

by Christopher G. Nuttall, Barb Caffrey (Editor)

After being trapped in a very strange world, Elliot Richardson found his footing and led the forces of Damansara to victory, only to find himself under threat from jealous and resentful city fathers who thought he was on the verge of overthrowing their rule and taking their power for himself.

Isolated and alone, Elliot accepted an offer of employment from Princess Helen of Johor and finds himself travelling to the heart of her kingdom, to a city caught between the stagnant past, the hope of a better future and factions threatening to burn the world down rather than risk letting it be saved.

And, as Elliot goes to work, he finds himself threatened by powerful enemies who will stop at nothing to see him brought down…

Her Majesty's Warlord does not disappoint

One of the things I like about Christopher Nuttalls stories is his understanding of the intricacy of being a woman in a highly patriarchal society. The complications of a political system based on noble birth and gender inequity add a whole layer of interesting drama to his story.
Elliot is the quintessential everyman thrust into a world beyond his comprehension. As an outsider, without magic, he is in an entirely different situation than Emily, and has to deal with a whole other layer of the unnamed worlds social strata. He has the advantage of being a man, which Emily did not, and the tactical education wholly unavailable in his new reality. I look forward to reading about his journey in further disrupting the status quo in Johor.

Christopher Nuttall has really outdone himself with this book - a real page turner that kept me up too late for three nights running. Nice to see the "Emily universe" from a different perspective.
Can't wait to see where the author takes the warlord in future volumes. Also hope to see more of Fallon and Violet. two great characters.

Fun as hell

I love nuttall's schooled in... Series and this is no exception, between this and the cunning man series, I'm loving a tangential dive into the nameless world through new eyes. Though, in a nod to Sir Pterry I'd love is some of Elliot's more oblique references were footnoted

This book isn't up to much, the hero just spends all his time moaning about social conditions in the city he chooses to serve. It's a mix of PC attitudes, yes, we all know slavery is wrong, stop banging on about it, Nuttal does all but put the hat about for BLM, the interesting part would be how our hero trains, equips & eventually fights his new army, however all we get is how our hero is so PC, he agonizes over bedding his witch, but still does it, he is also quite happy to rain death down on those who he doesn't agree with, sort of like cancelling nowadays...
This is all about the author's "wokeness", & not a very interesting story.

This one was even better! I found the first book intriguing because it brought some unique angles to the fantasy novel. But this book was better. There were still some editing mistakes. But the overall book was a more polished novel. I was excited by the action, interested in the military training and theory. I'm looking forward to the next installment.

Good story but.......

You need a continuity person. I noticed in other stories you've written the same problem. For example, Just wearing shifts then suddenly galloping down the road, Gatling guns? Those require bullets with casings, And I'm no English major. While it is fantasy, when the story lurches for no good reason, it makes it unpleasant. However the storyline is ok.

A disappointing read

I have read many of Nutall’s books, but this book was slow and quite boring. For some reason the author chose to use potty mouth words. This alone was quite a disappointment.

Another fun read from Christopher Nuttall!

Christopher Nuttall's books are always worthwhile reads but his Schooled in Magic world is one of his best. Make sure to read both series! They are excellent!

Fun continuation of the soldier without magic in a world of magic.

This is GOOD

Yet again CG has outshone himself. With the able assistance of his co-author Barb Caffrey (who to my shame I have never heard of - hopefully something I can remedy in short order), can only be complemented on their excellent penmanship.

Good, very good.
More needed - like yesterday!
