Full disclosure: I received an ebook copy of this work in exchange for an unbiased, honest review.Like its two predecessors, "Cursed Children" is set in the land of Naor, telling three stories connected only by their focus on the great forces of good and evil playing out their battle through the singular and unlikely. Like its predecessors, it is intensely descriptive and includes a many-faceted, highly variable cast that will surprise and impress you as they draw you onward. Also like its predecessors, it seems to have lost some of its sheen in translation, as errors abound, though hey do not detract some of the comprehensibility of the story.Again, the stories come from frozen lands, a medieval countryside, and the mysterious desert. The protagonists are each strong in their own ways, but have a lot of growing to do, especially in the third story. We spend a comparatively short time with these characters, but I found myself growing very attached. All in all, three solidly-told stories.Bottom line: If you liked the first two, you'll like this one as well; if you didn't, you won't. If you've never read any of them before, but are a fan of high fantasy with the severity of realism, this might be for you. A warning to parents, this is a violent, sexual work, so - not for your small children. With questions or comments, feel free to post here to contact me at SeanOnAmazon@gmail.com.
