Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

IN THE SHADOW OF LIGHTNING by Brian McClellan



I want the sequel and I WANT it now.   Pretty obvious I enjoyed the book.   I don’t usually start my review with my conclusions.   A family dominated empire finds itself under military assault while simultaneously dealing with the potential loss of it’s magical under pinning and a mysterious and sinister subversive movement.

The protagonist is a broken, brilliant glass dancer whose brilliance led to his emotional destruction.   Demir Grappo struggles with his self-image and self-confidence after failing to stop his extraordinary victory from becoming a decayed albatross on his legacy. Simplistically the plot is his redemption in both his own mind and in the minds of his populace and peers.   Of course it is far more complex than that and just the interpersonal relations are filled with drama.

I found myself speedreading because I couldn’t wait to see what was next and then going back because I didn’t want to miss any details.

I really loved the book and highly recommend it.
