Ahh, Malus. This title contains books 4 and 5 in the series. Malus is getting ever closer to the one year mark and things are happening very quickly. The primary difference, and perhaps disappointment, is that he has less opportunity to be evil- he seems more like the average fantasy hero. Still, the story is good and the action plays out well. Malus evolves through these stories, growing from his experiences and even (gasp) learning from his mistakes. There are some surprises from old friends along the way, too. If you enjoyed the first three books, you'll probably enjoy these.

Malus Darkblade is the ultimate anti-hero, the epitome of ruthlessness. By far my favorite elf character (and I don't like elves at all). Hope that Mike Lee can write up the rest of Malus's story to fill in the gaps of how he got Tz'arkan trapped within him again. Good read the whole way through.

Phenomenal book, but not for everyone. I picked up the first book in the series and couldn't put it down. It is incredibly written, fast paced, and the characters are well developed. With that said, this is a dark, violent, gorry, and disturbing book. The black elves are the most base and violent characters in fantasy and their bloody lifestyles surprised and shocked me. Don't let that detere you from checking out this whole series. I was totally enthralled with the story line and wish the authors would continue the adventures of the main character. Just be aware that some of the scenes might be considered disturbing. It is a fantastic read and I would highly recommend it to anyone who likes that kind of fantasy.
