Just in case you haven’t checked it out yet, my review of the first book can be found here: Southwind Knights Review Also, there will possibly be spoilers in blurb, so you’ve been warned:
Southwind is in uprising,
and Asher is lucky to escape alive.
With an orphaned Finn and the exiled Healer,
he journeys north to the Queendom’s capital.
He goes to find his mother.
He’ll find only death.
Now that you’ve done that let’s get started. Queen of Grass and Tree was a super light read for me, but an excellent chapter in the Southwind Knights Saga. While it didn’t have as much as action as its predecessor, it instead had a bit of intrigue and character building. I also love the tinge of gore that the author adds. The further the story progresses the more questions I have. I have high hopes for Asher as he continues his adventures as well as the political intrigue the author is building up too.
Thanks, Molly! I’m telling you: light reads are the future! Serialize, serialize!
Apparently they are. Look at that sci-fi series called “Wool”! I haven’t read it, but it’s all over the place.
For sure. Wool is massive, especially in the indie world. I read the first part, but don’t tell anyone, I didn’t love it. But people say it picks up in part 2 or 3, cause that’s when he introduces the “best” protagonist.
I have the first part I think, but it didn’t look like my cup of tea. What you are doing reminds me of David Eddings’ s Belgariad. I don’t know why.. think it’s the relationship between Asher and Galen.
Ooo, I had meant to read the Belgariad recently but never got around to it. I’d somehow never heard of it before last year :O
It was one of my first fantasy series and still one of my favorites. So, you better read it.
Awright, awright!
