The Price of Valour by Django WexlerMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
While I appreciate the roundness of the story for what it is, weaving the events of the first two, with their different PoVs, I have to admit I didn't think this one was all too interesting. I loved the events in the second novel, mind you. I felt the need and the drive. This one was a bit bland in comparison, or I was hoping to see it build something rather more interesting here.
I'm not going to say it was bad. But honestly, with all the Military Fantasy I've read over the years, this is pretty middle of the road. The demon names angle is in the background, and sometimes at the fore, but it's hardly the core of the page time. I'll continue his writing, eventually, but I think I'm gonna take a break from straight Mil-F for a moment.
To my synesthesia, I must say that I had the distinct impression of an old stone hallway with recently disturbed a layer of dust reaching my nose.
Personal note:
If anyone reading my reviews might be interested in reading my own SF, I'm going to be open to requests. Just direct message me in goodreads or email me on my site. I'd love to get some eyes on my novels.
