The Black Fortress was wonderful. It was short, don't get me wrong more would have been awesome, but this was a tiny tale that is part of a well developed series. Those that are reading this thinking that it is a full novel or even a novella will be disappointed. However if you go in with an open mind and knowledge that this is in fact just a short tale of Torg's history one wouldn't be disappointed at all. I found it delightful. I had no difficulties reading or understanding it, even though I have not read the series yet. (Note the yet, thus meaning I intend to.) The author, Jim Melvin, did a wonderful job in feeding a hungry mind, but leaving enough unsaid that would make one want to dive further into the book series. Which I would highly recommend if you like this book even in the slightest. The promise that I see in these pages, are surely dripping in his other novels and I am glad that I ran across them and bought them when I did. Again, I say, just wonderful! Battles, well described fight scenes and an imagination gone wild, what more could you ask for?
