The Seven Virtues #2
A Sellsword's Wrath
Aaron Envelar thought a sellsword's life was as dangerous as any life could be.
He was wrong.
Trapped in a conquered city with a reward on their heads, Aaron and his companions must find a way to elude the soldiers pursuing them while he struggles to understand his bond with Co, a magical creature of myth and the Virtue of Compassion. There is power within the bond, power that could help him protect his friends, if he's lucky enough to master it before the darkness within the bond consumes him.
But luck, Aaron knows, is a blade reached for in the dark, the man who grasps it as likely to bleed for his trouble as find the handle.
Stalked by Belgarin's soldiers, Aaron and his companions struggle to find allies before it's too late. But Belgarin's army is not the only danger they face, and even should they escape, even should Aaron master his bond with a legendary creature of magic, they may still fail. They may still die.
For there are other legends in the world, other magic. And not all legends are good ones. Not all magic is benign.

This series started in my opinion pretty strong with the first book. Then this second one was unfortunately pure downhill all the way to the end which was a complete mess. Almost all characters kept on behaving in a way completely opposite to their true nature (or common sense). The hero is fully capable of seeing trough would be assassins but then completely blind to other situations which are frustratingly obvious for all. Also the connection between the Hero and his magic ball only seems to work in weirdest moments, and it almost seems like the author most of the time forgets that the connection even exists (like they were riding on horseback for a week in total silence apparently, when there would have been about a million things they could have discussed to further their knowledge and cause). Also every single time the ball actually could do something useful for the world the hero somehow manages to silence it with just a thought or a word, while at other random moments he has no way of escaping the voice inside his head.

So much better to me since Leomin is back. He’s definitely my favorite character. I enjoyed the time spent between Aaron and Leomin a lot. They have a lot more in common than we thought and have both been through so much. Adina is alright but I would be just fine without her at all. I don’t feel like she does anything for the story except attract the attention of every man cause of course she’s unbelievably beautiful 🙄 Nobody is THAT beautiful and it’s just annoying that authors feel the need to make sure we all know just how ridiculously beautiful the woman is 50 times through each book. Anyway, I’m enjoying everything else.

Thoroughly enjoyed!
Aaron makes a strong protagonist/hero: obviously a skilled warrior, but moreso his ability to self-analyze and learn. There are only a few instances of his inability to discern deception but as an observer and coupled with his virtue of compassion, he's very adept at seeing or puzzling through things. There are several enjoyable sidekicks and some definitely dastardly foes. We actually learn a lot in this book, and the story really fleshes out a firmer foundation and creates a strong appeal to read on. There were two particular unrealistic instances of 'yeah, right' (not unbelievable as in suspension of disbelief but as in literally improbable given the information at hand) that mildly detracted, but overall a well-told tale. Darkness and bloodiness accompany hope and love and loyalty. Worth reading!

Jacob Pepper's second installment of the Seven Virtues, A Sellsword's Wrath is something of an enigma. There are parts that are really interesting and there are parts that are real head-scratchers. The second book seems to have dropped a bit narratively from the first book, making me wonder if the author over-corrected on the flaws of the previous title.
The world of the second novel is not well described. One of the strengths of the first novel is that the different locations felt realistic and different. Avarest was different than other locations in the book. Here we get little descriptions and the montage from one place to the other is nearly absent. We almost teleport from scene to scene. Lack of setting really caused this book to suffer.
The characters are a little more fleshed out but they make some really bizarre decisions and choices that seem out of character with who they were in the first novel. Aaron who is naturally suspicious of everyone is suddenly not suspicious at finding long lost Owen on their way to the new destination? (I am having trouble remembering place names because they are so unremarkable) It makes me wonder what kind of characters I am going to find in the next installment.
The plot was coherent though there were some places where it seemed to drag needlessly. As a dungeon master, I know when I am dragging my feet along before moving to the next scene. There was a lot of feet dragging that affected the pacing of the book. It was really slow on the front end, slower in the middle, and the end comes rushing like a train.
Peppers' writing style focuses on action, and that is not necessarily a bad thing. However, it can be a weakness when basic setting details and transitions are ignored. I like the inner dialogue of Aaron but I would love to hear more of Adina and Leomin's inner thoughts as well. Aaron and Co's inner dialogue is humorous at times, tedious at others. Peppers is still trying to figure out the balance.
This book took a backseat from the last one. I felt like the author hit the second book wall and decided to just write about nothing important. Yes, there is something of a resolution at the end, but we don't really get to soak in it. All of it finishes too quickly and abruptly like a plane crashing unexpectedly. There is enough here to return for the third installment, but if I continue to see the same things over again, it might be last volume I read.
Final Verdict: 2 Stars

A Sellsword's Wrath isn't quite as good as the original novel in the series; it's full of action and intrigue, but let down by lacklustre character development and world building. The writing style is good and I enjoyed both the plot and the dialogue, but it was definitely a let-down from the first instalment. I also enjoyed the additional backstory we gained for Aaron, which despite many flaws in characterisations did add a lot to the story.
In terms of the characters, it was mainly the really bizarre decisions that go against everything we've been told about the character that let it down. Aaron for example makes some spectacularly stupid decisions all the way through this... and if he was stupid, it might make sense. But he's not and so it doesn't and it ends up being infuriating instead. He's not the only character to fall prey to this, just the most obvious. It was like the author decided something needed to happen to make the plot go the way it was meant to... so it had to happen, even if it made no sense and the character should be brighter than that!
For world building... well, it was virtually non existent. This very much rides on the coat tales of the first book and new locations and places are non-descript and bland. There's nothing that pops out at you. There was some additional building up of the political framework behind the narrative, which was interesting and appreciated... but everything else just seemed rather flat.
All that said, this is still a solid three stars. The writing is good, the action is good, the narrative is good. And I know the author can write exceptional character development and world building... it was just lacking here. I'm interested to read the rest of the series and hope that it goes back to the standard of the first novel.

My third read from author Jacob Peppers. I'd gotten the Kindle edition for The Silent Blade back in April and never got around to reading it until the author gave me an Audfans audible edition for it, after reading/listening to it I went right out & bought A Sellsword’s Compassion while it was on sale, then I went & got the Audible edition since the first narration was so good. Owning both the Kindle & Audible editions I was able to follow along while listening. Great read, great narration, Steven Brand has become the voice of Aaron Envelar! Then I got A Sellsword's Wrath while it was on sale & WOW! As good as the first books were this one was even better! What other blurbs can I use to describe these books? Oh well, buy the book, read the books, get into a good author and some good characters as I have. On to book #3 as soon as I buy it!. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Good story
A great story on the grounds of Raymond fiest books. It has its own flavor but the story reads just like his works but as it's own original work. I cannot wait for the next work. Keep up the good work Mr. Peppers. I know the third act is always the most traumatic for us invested readers but I would have it no other way.

An entertaining read. Nice follow on from the first book. I will be carrying on with this series.

Sloppy. Did anyone proof read this? A couple of errors were so glaring that I wondered whether a) this had been poorly translated from a foreign language or, possibly, b) had been written using voice transcription.
For example: “… patting the boy on the soldier …” and “…Adina reigned up in front of them,”
There was something similar in the first book, “… staid your hand …”
These are not spelling mistakes, instead being straightforward misinterpretations of the words ‘shoulder’, ‘reined’ & ‘stayed’ with radically different meanings from the one intended.
Apart from those and some careless formatting, the book is too wordy, happy to use ten when five will do. For example: “…communed with the gods about as much as fish communed with men—which was to say not at all.” I mean you’ve made your simile, why explain it? Credit your readers with some brains.
On the plus side, the author has abandoned his Star Wars template and the plot is starting to widen out. There are some tempting hints at the bigger picture. The point is made (often) that noble aims don’t count for much when there isn’t enough food.
One last niggle, gold coins are thrown about with abandon. (This assumes that they are gold, not merely gold coloured, but then this is swords and sorcery, of course they’re gold!) Back in the 16th Century, ordinary people used farthings and groats and the like. Gold coins such as Sovereigns were a rarity, equivalent to between hundreds and thousands of pounds by today’s standards. They were also heavy. Sovereigns and the earlier Roman Solidus weighed about 15g, so the weight gets unmanageable very quickly. (check out the Brink's-Mat bullion robbery)

Personally I thought this was a big improvement on the first book, which is not a typical thing to find with a sequel.
The adventure these characters go on just feels like it has more depth, and the occasional POV from Adina's brother gives the impression that the world isn't static, things are moving in the background.
A characters is kind of introduced at the end and i'd like to see more of that. I was a little disappointed when he was first introduced because it seemed a bit too coincidental, not to mention the effect he had on the story. That being said the author reveals he had his reasons for certain things, and while we didn't find out what in this volume, could be pretty interesting when we do finally do.
If I had to pick at anything its that the speeches can be a bit pretentious. They often take the form of the MC's inner thoughts, something along the lines of 'The greatest lies are the ones we tell ourselves after all, the strongest chains etc etc' There not bad, in fact actually quite well written, but its overdone so much that occasionally I had to roll my eyes.
I sound quite negative of the book, but overall it was a fun adventure romp with good characters with the potential for a deeper story that I'd like to see develop.

??? Book one shot ahead while this one ... the author should be shot!
Book two has stumbled n staggered ahead making little sense. Go figure the series started great then belly flopped. Rah rah.I
It is such tripe. Zero character development! Zero progression whatsoever! They are still exactly in the same location at 42% complete than when the book started!where the first event occurs ... 42% gone and he decides to start the story?
Spoiler cept ya already know this, as he just continues it forward. The loser hero gets battered about by enemy wimps. Is nigh killed umpteenth time and toot de poot he jumps up and goes out there to fight the world's best while nigh dead!
Then has the worst commit suicide by cop complexes in the entire written world!
Top that off the heroine just meanders wherever she wants and who cares if who even checks to see if she is even on the ship as it sails. NO ONE cares! So she poot a la pooters she stays behind!!!! What bunk! Tripe that is all.
The hero has women rubbing him into nirvana and the princess who btw the two ya think supposedly is in love, is more likely to mount the other woman than him! This story is a lame duck!
I quit at 43%
DO NOT read!

I received a free copy of this book for an honest review.
The Sellsword Aaron Envelar is still on the run along with Princess Adina and his embedded Virtue of Compassion "Co". They are in hopes that Princess Adina's sister will help them fight Belgarin, the brother who wants to rule all and kill everyone who tries to stop him. What they find is a sister who is so selfish and self-centered she does not believe she will be conquered nor killed by her own brother.
They also discover there is more to worry about than Belgarin, a shape-shifter has appeared and is causing distrust when there should be none.
A great story with great characters. I love the give and take between Aaron and Co as they try to understand each other and find that together they can be a force to be reckoned with.

A Sellsword's Wrath is the second book in the Seven Virtues series. There's a good balance between characters and action. There's also a bit more romance. The evil characters are truly evil and our hero also struggles with his more monstrous side. The pace slows a few times, usually at the lighter moments. There's plenty of plotting by the different people in power. I wasn't convinced that Adina's sister could be so opposite to her - maybe in character, but not in looks. I already own a Sellsword's Resolve and will be reading that next!

The journey continues.
I didn't expect the twist at the end, but I had my suspicions about a certain character since the beginning.
I do understand though, why Aaron refused to. For all his cynicism, he needed something to believe in.
I almost pity Belgarin... he's obviously being influenced, even though I can't absolve him because he HAS free will. He was deceived with his brother, but it was his choice to keep the war going on.
I think now we still miss a couple of Virtues... I wonder who they will be!

Enjoyable read...despite the romance
The hero is a gruff warrior that has a heart of gold...the heroine; a beauty that the world has rarely seen with, coincidentally, a heart of gold. The lady and the tramp storyline wasn’t necessary for this book because the story is well written. I assume it brings in a broader audience. Again, enjoyable read; despite the minor problem of tired & well trodden protagonist(s).

Powerfully written action that delivers an epic punch!
Aaron’s adventures continue in this second book of the series - and you won’t be disappointed. In fact, author Jacob Peppers increases the tension. Like in any great thriller, the audience knows that danger is lurking, but the shape and nature of that danger is revealed slowly. I couldn’t wait to discover clues, however, the book was too enjoyable to speed through.

I loved this story! Book two of the seven virtue series,it carried the plot and characters beautifully.Not your ordinary "sword slinger" tale,the originality shines,as the action and suspense pounds! One great read,and if you've read the first novel,two!Recommended only if you are craving an exciting,fast-paced read!

Fun Story Line
The author successfully entrails the reader in the life of the main character. His confusions, aggressiveness, poor choices, loyalty, and so much more. Good read although, as I state in many books, the foul language adds nothing to the read and detracts for readers like me who do not use or care for it.

Nicely Done
More action, drama (!), and intrigue than ever before, with character growth as the plot progresses. What’s not to like? Well, maybe the sheer stubborn thickness Aaron often shows, but that’s him. If he saw through all the deception, the story wouldn’t be as interesting. Great editing, great support scenes. Good Stuff all around. Recommended.

Enjoy the good stuff
Nice to read a little irreverence, especially when we’re being encouraged to be “true believers” by so many of our would be “Leaders”.
And it’s a nice break from the one dimensional Offended that has become such a popular viewpoint.
Hmmmm, might be good to read on. A breath of welcome fresher semi-cleanish air.

Nothing like continuing our adventure with Aaron and the gang. Started reading immediately after I finished the 1st book and this second installment did not disappoint. The twists and turns in this one were truly entertaining and made for a great climax as well. If you enjoyed the first book, you'll definitely not want to stop there!

of queenly virtue
Aaron gathers together a most unlikely group on his way to see Adina's sister, hoping they could join the sisters' and brother's armies together against Belgarin's army to stop his brutal campaign. Ancient beings are finding Aaron and his friends. and not always for good

The bad guy got away
Good read...I read it in one day! True love is discovered, friendships are solidified and the team is being formed that will stand together to fight the enemy. Oh, and the bad guy got away, so we can look forward to Aaron dealing with that thing in the next book.

So it was Adaptability behind it all, not Perception which seems like a cheat and a broad interpretation of adaptability, but meh. It can do just about anything it seems! And has been screwing with Aaron his whole life for some reason?
They drive him off (it was the wizard for the past it seems) and strat training an army.

Continued fun and adventure!
Peppers second book in the Seven Virtues’ series further expands Aaron and Adina’s relationship while introducing more and mysterious friends and foes. Action, fight scenes, and romance flow seamlessly. The plot thickens and I anxiously await the next chapter in this entertaining and well written series!

This book....
Aaron's character development is definitely disable the A Sellsword's Wrath! And in this one you could also see the development of the antagonist as well. In the first book he is merely a rumor.. To be honest I am more interested in the antagonist than the heroes.... The author also is very good at dialogue and pushing wisdom.... I see you Mr Peppers 😁

Awesome book, action-packed, great characters
I loved this book! The stakes are high, there’s plenty of action, and the main character is very well done. The author went really deep into Aaron's story and emotional life - and he's a great fighter, too! The supporting cast is very strong as well. Moving on to the next book in the series.

As good as the first book was, this one was even better. Some very shocking twists and turns throughout, and the book just flew by. It left me wanting much more, and hotly anticipating the third book. One of the best books I have read in a long, long time. Very well done.

An epic fantasy tale. Has all the elements, tyrant/love interest/battles and a good story line.
I haven't read the first book but it was easy enough to pick up the tale with this book.
Well worth a read.

An excellent read that followed well off the close of book one. This was a very engaging book that kept calling to me to read it. I was left very surprised at the end and am looking very forward to more.
