If the book is as good as the cover it should be a hum dinger!

The King of the Fels by Cathy Benedetto
This is the final book
in the trilogy. As an avid fan of
anthropomorphism, I enjoyed the communication with the Fels (cats of all types)
in all three of these books. The Shala
are the guardians of Sandala and the Fels are their companion warriors. In this final book, we get many questions
answered. Ms. Benedetto does a nice wrap
up.
Tahjeen comes to
maturity in this book and we find out what destiny has in store for he and his
human bride, Ariann.
There are a couple of
good surprises in the last book that really ties the three books tightly. Do read all three, they are well worth your
effort.
I enjoyed all the books
and I recommend this one specifically as well.

Dark Shala by Cathy Benedetto
This is the middle book of the trilogy. As an avid fan of anthropomorphism, I enjoyed
the
This book introduces the fly in
the ointment. Who are the Dark Shala
and what are their origins?
Human greed and perversity
abound in this volume. Anthropomorphic
cats are the only unsinged heroes having no down side to their behavior.
This book builds the foundation
for the culmination of events in the final volume.
I enjoyed it and recommend it.

Out of the Dark by David Weber
A new Weber series is
always welcome. Although after starting
the excellent Multiverse series and discovering there are no plans to finish it
makes me leery of starting a new Weber series.
Although in this purported series, there is a good wrap up, I guess in
case he decides not to continue. I know
I was not the only one disappointed when there was no follow up (and none
planned) for Hell’s Gate and Hell Hath No Fury.
Regardless, this book
does stand alone well so if there is no follow up, there should be no
disappointment.
This book started very
similar to a John Ringo series, the Posleen War. It had a very similar taste and feel. Weber does have the ability to craft
characters that are memorable in spite of the fact he never hesitates to kill
some of them off.
There are some
interesting twists to the book that make it much different than the Ringo
series.
I still recommend the
book .

Storm Riders by Margaret Weis and Robert Krammes
The book stands alone but would be better if Shadow Raiders
had been read first. A distained portion
of the population decides to get even for past wrongs.
This is a well crafted world. A back story would have made the book
better. The main characters are nicely
done and likeable. The Trundlers are air
borne gypsies and Stephano is a dragonless dragon rider.
The events that they entertain surround the disgruntled
Bottom Dwellers. The conflict with the
Bottom Dweller is driving former adversaries into begrudging cooperation.
It is a good story and I recommend it but I do strongly
recommend reading the first book first.
