Memoirs of a Battle Mage: Part II: What Lies Beyond Maps

by Peter Whittlesey

Safely ensconced in the Dwarven Kingdom, Tyr and Meredith start a new life away from the horrors they left behind in the Holy Empire. But as the seasons pass, war drums begin beating. In the far northern and southern ends of the Dwarven Kingdom, guard towers are being sacked. In the ruins left behind there is little evidence of who, or what, caused the destruction. With few leads to follow, the Dwarven King calls in his advisors. Devising a trap for the perpetrators, the King and his generals decide they need an ace or two up their sleeves. Tyr and Meredith find themselves made a part of their plans, their magical skills used as added insurance of success. Unable to say no, Tyr and Meredith are dragged into a new and larger conflict. Thus begins the second book of the Memoirs of a Battle Mage series. What begins as a trap grows into another epic adventure bringing Tyr and Meredith into new lands and encountering new friends as well as cunning enemies. Our heroes find that the wider world is no safer than their old lives in the Holy Empire; and that in helping out their benefactors, they will be garnering the attention of a wider and more dangerous world.

A Litte Disappointing

Overall it moves the story forward, but the MC is a bit slow. He learns disturbing things, but never follows up on any of them. As the sword keeps saying, he is Mister Passive. Disappointed, but still interested in t he next book. If that one doesn't do a better job on the MC I will probably abandon this series.
