Mind you, if you find this review erratic it's because I normally don't write any but I just had to vent and forewarn others. If you're expecting anything relating to Lord of the Rings or Beauty and the Beast prepare to be disappointed. I feel it's an injustice to state that in the summary of the book and completely misleading.

Having just finished The Brush of Black Wings, I was on a fantasy romance binge induced by Grace Draven. HAO popped up on the “customers also bought” feed, and with high overall ratings and as a Kindle Unlimited selection, I couldn’t pass it up. I’m glad I didn’t, and you shouldn’t either if you like fantasy tales with a strong romantic element or if you enjoy sci-fi romance featuring an alien. Since Arianna is human and Bolthorn is orc, I figure that cross-species pairing is close enough for the SFR crowd.

My familiarity with J.R.R. Tolkien is limited to three separate, aborted attempts to read The Hobbit, when I was too young to get past the vocabulary, and Peter Jackson’s cinematic adaptations (I know, I know, don’t gut me with an Elven-forged sword). I have to say, however, Dillin’s human, orc and elf realms carried my imagination effortlessly through an amalgamation of fairy tales, Tolkien’s kingdoms, and a surprising visit to Norse mythology. She does it with a nimble literary style, tossing down phrases, sentences and paragraphs that I was compelled to highlight because they are so beautiful. Seriously, I highlighted 16 passages, and most authors are lucky to get three marks out of my stingy pen. In deference to such glorious verse, I will pass on a sentence or two:

“There is room for love between us, Arianna. Outside of the vows that bind us. We need only nurture the flame together.”

“It wasn’t just the limp that made her wonder how old he was, but the way he looked at her, so steady and patient, as if he had eternity ahead and behind.”

“Let my life be bound to yours, and what strength I have steady you.” This partial passage is one of the most significant in the entire tale, and what is surprising is that this vow is not first uttered by the hero, but by the heroine. Sacrifice and honor are not only male qualities in this fantasy, but characterize women as well. In fact, the role of women is significantly more substantial in Dillin’s world as compared to Tolkein’s. Norse women were given more power in group decision-making and held influence of their own, and this bleeds into the orc civilization as well. I was intrigued by the female orcs in Bolthorn’s society and repeated use of the term “hrimthursar.” I assumed this was a Tolkien invention relative to orcs, but Wikipedia let me know this term was used to describe the Frost Giants in Norse mythology. Suddenly everything about Bolthorn’s tolerance for cold, his unique ability to scale icy mountains, and capacity to withstand everlasting night made sense to me.

The first part of the book is more reminiscent of fairy tales, in particular more adult versions of Snow White and Beauty and the Beast. The latter half is more associated with Tolkien and Norse mythology as humans, orcs and elves intersect. Since he was a blend of Frost Giant and tusked green orc, I had a difficult time picturing Bolthorn, and I wish the author had splurged for some original artwork for the cover. The amber eyes glowing in the darkened magic mirror do a disservice to the hero and honorable orc-king-in-the-making that I suspect Bolthorn to be.

The adventures of Princess Arianna and Bolthorn in this first part of the orc saga are largely limited to escape from the human realm and struggling to reach the orc villages high in the mountains. The lovers are plagued by injury, weather, hunger and evil foes willing to do anything to stop them and the “abomination” of their human/orc love. The emotional heart of this story is how Arianna and Bolthorn trust one another and strive to overcome the forces that would keep them apart. For those who like to know, there are love scenes, but they are not overly descriptive. My one complaint is that too much of the plot moves forward via internal reflection rather than dialogue or action.

This is a tender love story set amidst a fantastical world full of history and tradition. It is the beginning of an epic in every sense of the word, and the ending leaves us primed to learn more about the larger machinations of the elves, orcs and humans. If I had to guess, there will be new romantic entanglements for characters we have met but don’t yet know well. ...more

In Honor Among Orcs, Amalia Dillin has crafted a juxtaposition of two colliding worlds that despite the turmoil and trials, blossoms into a beautiful portrait of a deep and abiding integrity, and dare I say...Love.

I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review

Honor Among Orcs is a sweeping romantic fantasy featuring two characters as alike on the inside as they are different on the outside.

Arianna is a princess with no freedom and no hope for the future. She suffers her father's cruelty, which runs not only to beatings but giving her company to nobles for their entertainment. She is battered and bruised in body, but her spirit remains. Inspiring really-- she is one of those charact ...more

When she finds Bolthorn, an orc trapped in a magic mirror, Arianna is struck by his strength and his sense of honor. And she begins to see a glimmer of hope that perhaps they co ...more

Deft Characterization and Turbulent Adventure a Fine Story Make

Having read "Forged By Fate" and other works by Amalia Dillin, I was excited to see her news about "Honor Among Orcs". It is in a very different world from the other series, which just means promise and potential for more fascinating storytelling on Dillin's part. That sense of promise paid off well as I dove into the story, each step of Arianna and Bolthorn’s journey leaving me eager to find out more about this new world and the inh Deft Characterization and Turbulent Adventure a Fine Story Make

Having read "Forged By Fate" and other works by Amalia Dillin, I was excited to see her news about "Honor Among Orcs". It is in a very different world from the other series, which just means promise and potential for more fascinating storytelling on Dillin's part. That sense of promise paid off well as I dove into the story, each step of Arianna and Bolthorn’s journey leaving me eager to find out more about this new world and the inhabitants therein.

From the very beginning, the story draws the reader into the action. From those first breathless moments on the castle walls, it is difficult to not be drawn into Arianna's tale. There are twists and turns at surprising places and trouble from corners that seemed safe. There are dangers beyond the elements and there are tests of love which leave shivers in their wake.

One of my favorite things about Dillin's writing is her ability to make characters come alive on the page. Behind Arianna's carefully composed public face, you can feel the grief and fear she lives with. Bolthorn is clearly more complex than "big strong orc" and the shades of his complexity play out through the story, though his overriding strength is clearly steadfast loyalty. King Gunnar is clearly an awful person and you can hear the cruelty behind the sugary sweet words he speaks to the public. Lord Alviss made my skin crawl more than once and I was gleeful with how his role in the story played out. Though for me, the standout character was Fossegrim. I loved him from the second sentence he was mentioned and that only grew. I would love to hear more from him in the future.

While there were a couple of minor points that bugged me about the story, on the whole, it was outstanding. I found the early miscommunications between Arianna and Bolthorn to be a bit tedious in a few places and was very relieved when it was resolved. The other point that was likely more a me-problem than a book problem was becoming slightly confused about who each of the Vala were and what their roles were in the story. Once I mentally sorted that back out, a couple of confusing points made sense again. That I chalk up to reader error versus writer error, though I do suggest if you find yourself becoming confused you hop to the Dramatis Personae at the end.

While I received my copy of the book in exchange for an honest review, I was already going to purchase it, and I recommend that you do, too! There is adventure that begins with a heroine saving a hero and herself, but there are also thoughtful considerations of inter-race politics, what it means to be a part of a family, and how to stay strong in the face of great hardship. The adventure story alone makes it a fun read, but the depths of the undercurrents make it a true work of art.

Recommended to Deidre by: Amalia Dillin

I've been a fan of high fantasy (Sword of Truth, Lord of the Rings, Wheel of Time) from the time I was quite young and this book holds it's own in such esteemed company. I found the book through an author group page on Facebook called Book Tarts and Ms Dillin had posted her information, as well as the description as "Tolkien meets Beauty & The Beast". A draw-line like that had me wanting more so I picked up the Kindle free sample and bingeread the rest of the book in about 20 hours.

A draw-line like that had me wanting more so I picked up the Kindle free sample and bingeread the rest of the book in about 20 hours.

The storyline of Arianna, the "put upon possible bastard" to the King and the suffering she endures at his hand provides a jumping off point to see how she grows and blossoms throughout the tale of her adventures with Bolthorn (pronounced Bol Thorn, not Bolt Horn ... I was corrected by another reader ... oops!). Theirs is not an easy tale to tell and there are twists and turns and intrigues enough to keep you reading well through the night.

Both main characters are believable and easily liked ... each jumps off the page with a well crafted description and an invitation to know more. One of the things I really loved about the author is that she never physically describes, to the minute detail, what her characters look like. She allows you to develop their image in your own mind while providing small details that help that picture develop ... (for example, we know Arianna has long, dark hair and she's milky white ... her facial structure, body type etc are left to the imagination of the reader ... I LOVE THAT!)

One note that I might offer: When reading this book, skip to the end where the author provides description of who is who in the book. About halfway through the story, she starts talking about certain characters and I had no idea who they were for about 3 pages. Reading the descriptions at the end of the book helped me to understand who they were and what their roles were better.

The book is not what i would call a "typical" romance ... there's no explicit sexual scenes but there is quite a bit of sensual romance in a traditional "sweep me off my feet" kind of sense ... If I were giving it a movie rating, I'd say PG ... no heavy violence or graphic sex.

Brilliantly written and expertly presented. One can only hope this is the beginning of a great series of books! ...more

Hey, some girls like werewolves, elves, or vampires. For me it's the green skin and tusks. A story where an orc is a main character and it's a romance? Yes, please!

I can happily say that I wasn't disappointed. The two main characters, Arianna and Bolthorn, have depth to them that makes them people rather than flat characters. For me what makes or breaks a book is characterization and the protagonists had plenty of that. I honestly wasn't sure if I would like Arianna, fearing that she'd be some sort of pathetic princess. (I know, I know, I shouldn't have, but with a romance, you never know.) I was pleasantly surprised that even in her times of weakness, which I certainly couldn't fault her for, she still had strength and determination. Bolthorn... well, let's just say that he's now another orc I have a massive crush on. I found him to be more interesting than Arianna; not that she was flat, he just had the more interesting backstory and personality, in my opinion. I really got into the orc culture and how they live and interact with each other and the world.

Speaking of that, the world-building had detail that I appreciated. The history of the elves and the orcs was particularly interesting, and I enjoyed reading about the orcs' culture, so I'm hoping we get more of that in later books. That's the other thing: when I got to the end of the book and realized that it was the first in a trilogy I think I gave a little squeal of delight. Needless to say I will be reading the next one!

This is another book where it's hard for me to put into words exactly what I liked about it because I want to say "everything". While that's accurate, it's also incredibly vague. Basically the characterization, the world-building, the star-crossed-type aspect of the romance, the main characters triumphing against odds... it's all there. The only shortcoming I can think of is that I thought it felt a little disjointed to start, but once the plot started rolling I had a hard time putting this book down. ...more
