** spoiler alert ** -Second review of the book. The first is on the bottom. I must admit, I liked this book better than I thought I would.

Kudos to the writer for the attention paid to the
action scenes. They are detailed and fast paced.
I read some of those scenes and felt as if I was in the fight.
So much attention was paid to the fight details,
choreographed and written word for word like a hand-to-hand
battle manual, that I have an urge to find a sparring partner
and try them out.

The second thing I like about the book is the description of the
knights. The men are not all tall and muscular. The women are not petite waifs, or chesty sex-kittens. They come in different
heights and shapes with varying personalities.

And they are as competant as the men. The fight scene in the shower
with Temperance Cain and Simon is one of those moments.

Another thing I like about this book is the magically enhanced weapons and technology.

This book definitely has all the elements of a modern book;
Women in the military, speculative technology, sorcery, conspiracy
theories and history woven together, fast-paced action, surivalist mentalities, characters to love or hate, sub-plots and over-sized demons...what more could you want on a wintry Sunday Afternoon.



The first review....
I never thought I would find myself reading these
video to books type fantasy but I find it difficult to
find books that are straight up Scifi...

Thankfully it isn't boring or dry.

But it really isn't my cup of tea.
