finished this :) will leave a review. I enjoyed it. Interesting adventures, though it seemed a bit slow until they ran into the baby dragons; from that point to the end it really grabbed me and wouldn't let go. The Hykirs were wonderfully creepy; really enjoyed that part. I would have liked the part with the crazy woman serial killer/cannibal to have more real significance to the plot; that part was too good to just be a passing incident.

For me there was the right amount of description and world-building. I think it really helped that I read Bane of Souls first, so I already knew who the starting characters were and a little about how that world works. Thaddeus and Lynette's secret kind of came from out of nowhere; I can't remember if any hints were dropped about it earlier.

I enjoyed seeing more of Pretty Pierre; a really good character. Also enjoyed Anja and Fritigern. Roger the Goat is amusingly revolting; was glad to have him play a more important role in the story.

Fun read.

Thanks, Kyra, I'm glad you liked it.

When I was writing it the gear change nearish the end left me wondering if it was too hectic, so it's good to hear that went down well.

I did toy with the idea of linking the early cannibal with the rest of the plot. Hmm. Perhaps a mistake on my part.

At the moment I'm writing another story set in the same world. Very early days, and I think it'll be out late 2014 or early 2015.

It's really useful to hear what you liked, and what you didn't. I appreciate you taking the time to let me know your thoughts.

Yes the cannibal was interesting but I agree, linking it would be cool. I think the frenetic fight at the end was well done, there was a build up to finding the city then when they got there... well it wasn't quite what they expected.

I did wonder why there was quite so much treasure:)

[Kyra]

Maybe you can find a way to link the cannibal into a side story?

Thanks for your review :)

Do you mean as part of a new story, or rewrite Journey to Altmortis?
