PREORDER THE VERIDIAN WARS BOOK 2 (EBOOK)

Great book. Follow the adventures of the various characters with twist and suspense. The book has magic, intrigue, and dragons. Love the method used by the author in which each chapter follows the story line of a specific character. Can’t wait for the next book in the series.

This is the kind of fantasy that reminds me why I started enjoying the genre in the first place, it grips like Magician by Raymond E. Feist from the very get-go and holds your attention thereafter all the way through to the denouement. Yes, it is a weighty tome, coming in at over 800 pages, but this re-imagining of the fall of the Roman Empire with its pervasive, destructive religion, decadence and decay at the heart of society is a fantastic effort by a writer who deserves to become well-known.

There's a little magic, a hint of dragons, intellects at play and the stubbornness of all great fantasy characters, here embodied by Grigor to a large extent. I know this is officially book 3 of a series, but these are stand-alone stories (though this one is shortly to have a part 2!) and Aderyn Wood needs to be on your TBR list if you love fantasy.
