This is yet another great epic from Phillip Blood. I read the Cathexis series and couldn't put it down so I tried this one next. It didn't disappoint. The Nexlord series is just as enthralling as the Cathexis series with action and emotional sway. It is a truly great story of friendship and the power of the mind. The only reason I wouldn't say this is the best series I've ever read is that the editing wasn't as thorough as i would've liked. There were some spelling/grammar mistakes that took away from the story. The story itself, however, is by far one of the best I've ever read. Definitely a must read.

Awesome read, well worth your time even though it will seem like you spent almost no time reading it. I could not put this one down. Without giving any plot away, the author really defines the characters and their relationship to one another. Since characters are the main reason for getting emotionally involved with a book or story in the first place I was hooked with these characters. Give this one a read, again it's so worth the time and money.

Thank you Philip Blood for such a well written and entertaining take on the Fantasy genre.

This is the first book of the three books in the Nexlord series which I read a few months back. The book focuses on friendship, loyalty and being true to one another. The characters are interesting, memorable and it was easy to start care and identify with them. In someways it reminded me of the Harry Potter books but it also feels like it has influences from the Dune books by Frank Herbert. I have read the other 2 books as well and this is a must read.
