5 Stars for Swift Reprisal by Ian Blackport
Swift Reprisal by Ian Blackport
Consider yourself a noble at peace in your homeland while your armies are away at war. Now consider your castle being attacked and all of your relatives and the rest of the nobles being killed. This is no simple attack though, it is a betrayal, conducted with finesse; well almost anyways. Finally consider that the only noble to survive is you, the King’s daughter.
The quest begins as Layera searches for her father who is off at war. Your brother stands by his side as they battle the sworn enemies of your kingdom. Can you find them?
Swift Reprisal is an epic fantasy that centers on world building and detailed descriptions. In the novel, the reader will find themselves immersed with great detail about the world around them and the characters in the novel.
The author did a great job in portraying very solid and believable characters within the novel. Whether you enjoy a male lead or a female lead in a story, this book is sure to please as it has very strong male and female characters that interact well within the story. The description is so vivid that the reader actually feels like they can see the movements of the characters. When the author describes the characters, I was able to picture the high cheek bones, the characters ear lobes, and their movements. For some readers, this is too much detail. For me though, I loved every page of the detail.
The technical qualities of the book are fairly seamless and show that the author took his time in not only writing the story, but also ensuring it was well edited prior to publishing.
The novel is much longer than most eBooks; for some people this might be a drawback. The novel could be split into two distinct novels, but I believe many readers will enjoy the complexity of the novel and its length. This is not a novel that you will get through in one sitting. Prepare to get several days worth of reading enjoyment.
5 out of 5 Stars.
An epic fantasy story. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a very descriptive fantasy world.
