Borrowed from a friend. Great stuff here!I have to say that the writer's ability to tell a wonderful sword and sorcery story really impressed me from the get-go. The fact that Ms. Aames also included sensual scenes that added a little spice was what really sent this novel into the stratosphere. From the very beginning, I was hooked by a rendez-vous between two of the characters. So often, I really find this layer of sensuality lacking in other fantasy books. It's about time!In this novel, the female characters in particular were entrancing--Melisse and Helene OMG! Really interesting and complex characters. I was totally intrigued. Silas was probably my favorite male character. Can't wait to see what happens with him in the rest of the series. Just...wow.The author does a really great job of creating this world--I felt like I was there. The descriptions are vivid and the characters are in a fantasy realm, but totally relatable at the same time. The book is a fun read, the plot is involved and expansive and I'm very enthusiastic for the rest of the series.I think if you like Lord of the Rings, Game of Thrones, Merlin, or any shows similar to these, then you will definitely be into The Marechal Chronicles! Highly recommend.
