Disciple of War by Michael G. Manning
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book, but I have to say that I'm a bit curious about the choices our MC makes. Slippery slope things.

I mean, sure, it makes for great conflict and drama, but any kind of descent into evil generally is.

And yet, we're MEANT to believe that he's doing all this for perfectly good reasons and all his allies, including a certain incorporeal one, aren't really calling him out on it. Maybe they can't, and maybe they're just pragmatic, and maybe they truly have no problem turning a blind eye because reality IS messy and the stakes and the alternatives truly are that much worse.

And yet, here we are. War and the results of it in exchange for evil magic used for ostensibly good ends. Slippery, slippery slope.

Good thing I'm really enjoying the tale, right?
