This review is from: October's Baby (Dread Empire, Bk. 2) (Paperback)

This second Dread Empire volume establishes the main setting of the series. The characters begin to settle into their roles as they deal with civil and international war. The battles and politics are intricate and realistic, as are the characters. The book is self-contained, but sets up the premise for volume three, All Darkness Met.

This review is from: October's Baby (Dread Empire, Bk. 2) (Paperback)

I didn't get this series and stopped reading after the second book. I absolutely LOVED the Black Company...maybe my expectations were too high.

This review is from: October's Baby (Dread Empire, Bk. 2) (Paperback)

Note that this is now back in print as part of the omnibus edition A Cruel Wind, covering the first Dread Empire trilogy.

I enjoyed this this more 'all night falling,' probably in part because the characters focused on were much more sympathetic or at least understandable to the reader. focus on ragnorson, with lesser involvement of mocker, along with others introduced in this novel, and almost nothing from varthlokkur, probably helped this a lot.

dealing with political strife in the dread empire, and political and military issues in lesser kingdom and the machincations of bin yousif, it is certain an enjoyable read.
