I guess I'd call this "dark fantasy" since there is little hope throughout the book. It's also not a book I, personally, would give to anyone under 15 years old. The book clearly implies, though never actually states, that Dar was raped repeatedly by her father and both Dar and a young girl come very close to being raped on several occasions. While most of the sex, rape, brutality, and killing occur 'off screen' and none of it is explicit or gratuitous, the horror and danger of her sur...more

Dar is given into conscription by a family that had little materially and even less morally. Without a choice she accepts her fate and marches into the unknown.

Those starts Dar’s journey into a period of her life where she not only has to grow but use the gift of swift thinking and guile to get through the days. From the moment she meet the bulk of the regiment, she is branded and introduced to the harsh realities of life for a woman in the kings army.

She was now property with a price on her head if she runs. Being the new scabhead in the women camp she has no benefits except for the fact that she is fresh “meat” and soon comes under the eyes of the man in charge, but Dar has been there and done it before and she has little trust for men. That ultimately only leaves the Orcs, the inhuman beings that defends the king as decreed by their queen, Dar makes friend with one of the unlikely souls and ingratiate herself into almost every aspect of the orc’s life's – and this is what will see her through the long days and even longer nights.

Her spirit is as strong as ever and she gets into more problem and than anyone could think she would and it all comes with repercussion.

When a new girl is subscripted into the regiment, Dar takes her under her wings and eventually into the camp of the orcs, but there are eyes upon her and all of them means no good. Dar is alone and with a young girl to protect she uses all she has to survive, however when her protectors are marked for death she knows her time may also be drawing neigh.

What a read, from the first few pages in I was hooked. When I was introduced to Dar I could tell this book was going to be a read where I had to be strong to get through bits of it.

The world building was very very good, however once I put the name to the players involved and got the lay of the land – I really got into the story more and more, and I was seeing the magic of this book.

The book is a fast paced read, with some dastardly deed happening at all points of the day, Dar is not only strong but she has a stronger will to live. I was really impressed with her character – she alone carries the weight of this book.

There were a few things that stood out in the book for me, the Orcish language was one and a nice touch I thought – it somehow humanises the orcs and not make them feel like the killing machines that they were. The fact that the book was about ground level troops – so the march, the harsh living, the unimaginable events was an eye opening experience and of course the things that men do in the name of king and country is always a thrill to read.

The side cast are as different as day is night, ranging from new born naivety, age old crafty experience and men with to much sadistic tendencies. There was nothing funny in this book, no coming of age, no path that one must follow, Dar makes the rules up as she needs to and I was loving it.

KINGS PROPERTY is a wonderful first start to a series that is a great introduction to Howell’s work, but also a book that does what it intended. There was no over the top fluffing with characters or plot, and with the market infiltrated with fantasy of all kind – this very minimalistic dramatic tale was without a doubt a perfect read for me.

King's Property is the first in a series of three books by Morgan Howell. Set in a somewhat generic fantasy setting, the trilogy centers on the character of Dar, a resourceful (human) peasant woman who is conscripted into the king's army to serve in a orcish regiment.

Set in a somewhat generic fantasy setting, the trilogy centers on the character of Dar, a resourceful (human) peasant woman who is conscripted into the king's army to serve in a orcish regiment.

I read this novel as I have been floating for a couple years now the idea of writing something similar, a sort of reinterpretation of the idea of orcs, which coincidentally also had a human woman as the main character (fantasy literature is not a very original field). Thus, I felt the need to examine the competition.

Howell takes a slightly different direction than I might have expected. Some things are as I guessed: Dar lives in a dark, gritty, "realistic" place where pragmatism is by far the dominant ethos. I was surprised, however, by the orcs. They share little more in common with Tolkien's orcs (the light by which all orcs must be interpreted, for better or for worse) than being large, "ugly," and fierce. But even the fierceness is not as one might expect: These orcs are not always violent on their own (though they sometimes are) but rather at the behest of their human leaders, whom they serve for the sake of their queen who is in some way allied with Dar's king (many of these particulars are omitted in the volume and are presumably dealt with later). The orcs, rather than being a disorganized, violent mob, are the most disciplined of all the troops Dar encounters, up to and including the king's own guard. There are some more surprises I don't want to give away to those that haven't read the book, but the orcs eventually deviate even more from the Tolkienesque archetype. On top of all this, I could see definite hints of "noble savage" myths mixed in the orcish behaviors, which makes me somewhat uneasy. While I was somewhat disappointed that the orcs were not what I might have guessed, that is not a fault of the book.

The main character, Dar, shows elements of nineteenth century adventure novel heroines and the women of Greek epics and tragedies (she shares some things in common with Cassandra), though I don't know that she could have existed prior to the advent of modern feminism. She is not Buffy, though (at least not yet). She survives on courage, genius, and audacity, not on her ability with the sword. One of the weaknesses of this novel is that Dar seems to display too much courage, genius, and audacity. In fairness, though, Dar is clearly depicted as exceptional; I just sometimes balked at how exceptional.

The other characters, at least the humans, tend to go the other direction. I can't accuse them of being one-dimensional, most aren't, but rather of being dull, in both senses: stupid and boring. Development is admittedly not a high priority for many of these characters though, as few live long enough for us to care what happens to them. Thus, this is not as large a fault as it might at first seem.

On the whole, though, I found this to be an intriguing book. There were enough surprises, but not too many, to keep me curious about what would happen. Dar is interesting and sympathetic (if not always wholly believable). I'm curious to see where Howell takes this all in the next two books.

A word of warning: This is definitely a book for "mature readers" as they say. It is so in a way that is appropriate to the subject matter - this isn't an exploitation novel - but some elements may still be disturbing. Specifically, besides the usual decapitations and such, there is a constant threat of sexual violence (none of it graphic, but still...) in the book. Furthermore, Dar, it turns out, comes from an abusive past, and some references to that may also be disturbing to some, I imagine.(less)

The title and premise caught my eye, and while the summary on the back makes it sound 'meh' it was much better then I expected.

It's cliché, but enjoyably cliché. I found Dar charming, if not terribly relatable, and the prose reads smooth and the plot moves forward at a wonderful pace even though the writing isn't the most polished. I love the twist on Orcs, and their culture is the strongest aspect of the book. The weakest part, for me, was the first chapter when the story starts rat...more

Well, my friend really enjoyed the series, and recommended it to me.

Overall, it's solid fantasy writing. It's got good guys, bad guys, a big war, and a non-human race. As the story starts, orcs serve in the army of a human king. The orcs have a very strict moral code that is not understood by humans. One of their beliefs is that women own all l...more

There were parts I didn't like, and aspects where I liked how Morgan Howell depicted the scene or the relationships in the novel. The Orcs really are described as monsters initially, yet Howell does a great job humanising one Orc in particular and allowing the audience to view them in a different way. However, that one Orc's interaction with the heroine of the story, Dar, is based on their spiritual way of life as well as their social; females called 'Mother' who are representative of their spiritual 'Mother'. So for me, it's not a real acceptance of their differences in race - it's more of an obligation. As well as that, Dar obviously should not try to be a permanent leader of a group in the rest of the trilogy. She can't think politically and relied too much on Mister Nice Orc to survive, resulting in his demotion within the rank of Orcs. How she can not see the consequence of that is hard to believe. The worst that happened in the camp for her was a whipping (which was a cause of her own stupidity) and a hurt leg from an Orc who threw her up in the air. I'm definitely not saying she should have been raped by one of those soldiers. Only that with a book about war, Orcs and a camp of soldiers who view women as pets to use, I didn't think this book showed the gritty, hard side of things. Dar never seemed desperate for survival as the other women. She seemed to fear things but never truly showed it. She was damaged from her relationship with her abusive father but it never explored in depth, and her refusal to 'bond' with a soldier to ensure safety and her survival seemed to show more her arrogance than her fear and will to survive.
But then, when I see it another way, I think Dar's escape from the 'natural order' the women follow at the camp is also an accomplishment that is in tune with a tale of a female hero. Dar is smart to learn the language of the Orcs and try to maintain her survival without the dependence of the soldiers. What I mostly liked from the book is how she became more Orc than human. It expresses our level of humanity in comparison to a creature labelled a monster.
The final complaint I will make about the book is that Dar seems wishy-washy in her role as a hero and there were random things which made me not fully able to immerse myself into her character within that setting. Random thing #1 is that she never mentioned the branding on her forehead hurting ever! Yes, there are a lot more important things to think about in that death camp and she's a strong brave character blah blah, but not even a tiny mention after that! It's a brand. It must hurt. And another thing is that the brand cannot be seen on the novel's cover art for all three novels. That made me sigh.(less)

This is the first non-romance fantasy genre book I've enjoyed in ages. It used to be my favorite genre to read, but many books have gone the way of the epic series or the anachronistic comedies, and I've simply encountered too many that were tedious to read for me to want to keep up with the genre much any more.

But this book was actually a change from all that — it was engaging and suspenseful, and I was immediately invested in the main character, Dar. Her situation in the book is a ...more

The story is about a woman -- Dar -- taken into the army as a serving wench. The brutality can be disturbing at times, although there is a constant thread of hope with Dar's strength and subsequent triumphs -- small victories, but inspiring nonetheless.

This is a fantasy story, of course, and I've had some problems lately with the bleakness of most fantasy writers. Robin Hobb and Brent Weeks come immediately to mind. What a joyless trip those two are! But this, while it ends on a bittersweet note, seems to have a chance of ending somewhat well for the heroine and a few other featured characters. The one truly sad event was foreshadowed, so I didn't feel like anyone ripped my guts out thoughtlessly.

There may even be a romance brewing, which would make me happy. I'm not sure, but I can say that, of all the fantasy writers I've tried since I discovered Jim Butcher, only Morgan Howell's 'King's Property' has made me anxious to get to the next installment.

If we start to go downhill, believe me, I'll dump Howell in less than a second. But the sense I'm getting is that this is ultimately a story of triumph bought by cleverness and goodness of heart, and that's a story I can enjoy.

As I mentioned, there is much brutality to women in this book. But the bad guys are revealed very soon after their introductions to be monsters so there are no gut-punching surprises in that direction. The good guys (few though they may be) are refreshing and I enjoyed rooting for them. And while the women are severely treated by some of the other characters, this is also a story where a woman, if she's willing to risk it all, can make a difference.

I hope I won't ultimately be disappointed in this series now that I'm hooked. It's happened before (Brent Weeks grrrrrr!), so there is definitely some apprehension here. But right now, I'm optimistic, and I recommend this first book of the Queen of Orcs series. We'll see what the next two bring. (less)

After mulling over the orc issue for a while, I've decided that the author decided to use the term "orc" to give us a knee-jerk negative reaction, which makes a lot of sense since the first two books in the series seem to be about racism.

The novel starts off with Dar, the protagonist, being taken away from her family by a group of soldiers in the king’s army. Dar learns that the soldiers plan to make her serve the orcs who also fight for King Kregant. Dar is fearful at first, but as she learns about the orcs and their culture, she realizes that they respect females far more than the human soldiers do. When one of the army leaders plans to hurt Dar, she turns to the orcs for protection.

Initially I picked up this series because I thought it sounded like an original and exciting take on Orcs, but it delivered a lot more than I had expected. Howell has put a lot of thought into developing a rich and complex culture for orcs including spiritual beliefs, language, etiquette, style, traditions, and more. The plot was fast paced, full of surprises, and enthralling. Putting this novel down was impossible because there was so much unique content provided. There were underlying themes of friendship, trust, loyalty, tolerance, and understanding which were explored during the situations that Dar encountered. While this novel provided a great story, there was more to it than just orcs and armies. The settings and events of this novel were described so well that it was easy to forget that it’s fiction.

I was genuinely interested in the wellbeing of certain characters. Dar is one of my absolute favorite fantasy novel heroines because she’s tough, smart, and determined even though she doubts herself at times. I enjoyed “seeing” her grow and change throughout the novel, and I think other readers will feel the same. A lot of the secondary characters were very interesting too. I never felt annoyed or overly eager to return to the plot about Dar while reading about the secondary characters because they had just as much to offer as Dar.

One of my favorite things about this book is that it features a small glossary of Orcish terms at the back. While the majority of Orcish dialogue in the novel is translated for the reader, I still found it fun to browse through the glossary.

King’s Property ended in such a suspenseful manner that I picked up the second book within 30 seconds because I was compelled to find out what happened next. I absolutely recommend this trilogy to anyone looking for some exciting fantasy. Make sure you have the second and third books ready to go because you aren’t going to want to wait to pick up the next one!(less)
