My title is 90% accurate, until you get to the 50% mark and for three pages there are grammatical errors borne from the spell checker not picking up out of place words such as her instead of here or ten instead of tent.... the spelling is right but the word is a typo and wrong. this disrupts the flow somewhat.That's the only negative.I enjoy lots of moving parts to a story and seeing how they meet. There are six or more countries at war it looks like and the Wolf People and some barbarians have discovered some lost magical items and they are running amuck on the world. You have two side plots that don't really mingle with the rest of the story but one searches for treasure, the other wonders around lol. but i'm sure they will be more involved in the sequel !He likes gore :-). blood everywhere. hahaha. I watched "hobo with a shotgun" and tamed down my own novel afterwards.He dabbles in mystical religion as well. I sense native indian origins. There are parts I skipped through because the detail lost me somewhat. Connecting to the characters was like connecting to a blind date, you had to find something interesting about them before they came to life.I was hoping for a twist with some fruit found in the deadlands, something like hear have this peach and swallow the seed... let's see what happens and then oh - you're dead ! The Prince and his cowardly advisor need to be killed off, but you'll have to wait for the sequel I guess.He starts the story well. Mucks around with the princess, has a kid and is exiled. You immediately sense there will be a moment of truth and final showdown for the exile to regain his honor. Even though it was inevitable, it was exciting to watch it all unfold.Good stuff.
