I've read almost every Eric Vall novel out and I still find myself eagerly anticipating the next installment in "The Duelist".
And book #11 doesn't disappoint, with more exciting adventures and discoveries by the Brightwood family, dangerous games of Politics and epic duels to the death!
And with the authors announcement that this is the second to last novel in the series, it's both exciting and bittersweet, knowing the climatic finale is just around the corner.
Displaced human, Alex Brightwood, decides it time to stop reacting and go after the ones pulling the strings. The Council of Ashers! He's got two ways to handle them, try and convince them to give up their luxury homes and stolen wealth, or, Burn it to the ground and start over! ( Guess which way he favors!) So he's off to the Capitol with his slightly murderous wives and some good old fashion standby stabby! Join in on the fun, read along!
I've liked so many of Eric's books, he's quickly become one of my favorite authors. His ability to "paint the scene" in each chapter is unusual and appreciated- I read his books until I can't read anymore!
I look forward to the next part of this series, and the end of K, who's abused and damaged anyone he's come in contact with. Justice will be sweet, and likely difficult, but all too wanted
I have been burning through these books so fast that I wasn't aware that I had caught up in the series! I really had a had time putting the book down, and an even more difficult task in not starting the new one right away.
I love the series and I'm looking forward to the next one!
Alot of developments in this book and figuring out what was done and how to fix it. Finally get to see the Council of Ashers. Really enjoyed the end and really looking forward to the final book.
This was a truly exciting entry in this growing epic, the characters are driving toward a bright future but face plenty of adversity. The story is powerful and engaging, I eagerly await the next one!
As always a well.written engaging and entertaining story!!! A fantastic fantasy world for the refers mind to ply in!!! Full of interesting and unique characters, engaged in events we all can understand!!!
Well the Council has been turned. While elements remain loyal to the old ways, at least half are now siding with Alex. This has Been a fast paced and full of action and adventure book looking forward to the conclusion!
How can you tell of a master writer has crafted legacy? He writes a harem story that has a plot, then he fills the world with great supporting cast. Eric Vall has done this this with the Duelist. That's why I gave it five stars.
Wonderful continuation to the series. The introduction of the various chairs was well placed. The vivid descriptions of the duels put you on the ground floor
