review 1: I couldn't finish the book. I have read them all to this point and enjoyed most of them immensely. The latter books have taken a religious tone that contradicts the Druidic nature of the characters. It is the author's prerogative to skew her mien regarding God's relativity to Druids but I am a altruistic; separation of church and fantasy is for me. Druids were worshippers of magic, earth, constellations, nature, and in many cases blood. Druids were the antithesis to the church. I wholly wish that the books had not taken this slant because they were good. I applaud Ms. Rice's theology and beliefs and wish her success and happiness but this direction in these books is not for me.
review 2: I've never done a review here but I figured it was time. I enjoy th... moreis series. It's nothing highly original and sometimes there are lapses of logic but for a few bucks a book and the couple of hours it takes to read each one it's not bad. But I hated this bookThere will be spoilers ahead. Outside of Darius and Volusia every story in this book bores me. The search for Guwayne is getting old and the logic of having Ragon having the baby on the same island as Thor but not telling him or making him wait until morning then having Thor leave before it's revealed is stupid. It's treating your readers like morons. Erek and Gwen's stories both did nothing. From the first chapter of both stories it was painfully obvious where both would end and every chapter leading to that end just seemed to say "don't forget these characters". And the ending of each story and each plot twist was obvious. I can handle unhappy endings and cliffhangers in a series but when every story ends on a bad note in obvious ways it's frustrating. Thor and the legion "dead" after a storm. Erek and Allistar sold out to the Empire fleet. All of Gwen's people and advisors "dead" in the desert. Darius has his army sold out. Godfrey tricked into selling them out and taken prisoner. Loti sold to a slave caravan. Volusia got a good ending but how long til we get another anticlimactic villain death like the others. Andronicus dying should have ended a book and after all Romulus did his death comes at an anticlimactic point. I miss the early books that explored the dynamic of the legion brothers. This book they are just faded into the background. Thor has been the best character but even this book he's just there. The only character I even seemed to care about this book was the Spartacus (Kirk Douglas) rip off Darius. I used to look forward to these book each month but if this is what we have to expect going forward then I just want it to end. This series has lost something after the book Thor met his mother. And sorry for any typos. Typing this from my iPhone as I try to work. less
