5.0 out of 5 stars The Devil's Armor.., November 13, 2003
By "gokuss545" (Darlington, SC USA) - See all my reviews
King Lorn the Wicked, once king of Norvor, must flee his kingdom with his physically challenged daughter, Poppy. After Jazanna Carr, the Diamond Queen, buys Lorn's own nobles, causing Lorn to lose the people he once trusted, Lorn leaves his kingdom in secrecy, eventually traveling with a group of people to Grimhold. Lorn hopes the magic at "Mount Believer" will cure his infant child, Poppy.

Prince Aztar, the "ruler" of the desert, has set out on a personal vendetta to cleanse the desert of the impure "Seekers". Liiria's own champion, Lukien, and a team of Jadori warriors, are the only thing fighting the murderous monster Aztar. With the help of The Eye of God, Lukien, is impassable, so he devots all his time to fighting to save as many "Seekers" as he can.

In Grimhold, Baron Thorin Glass, is fighting his own battles. The evil Akari, Khaldris, which resides in the Devil's Armor, is calling out to the Baron. Glass is also tormented, with the promise Jazzana Carr gave to conquer his land, and kill his family. Feeling weak and powerless, the once noble Baron turns to theft. No longer fighting Khaldris, Glass slips down to the bowels of Grimhold, putting the evil armor on piece by piece. Feeling a renewed vigor, Glass makes haste for Liiria, to take control and bring order back. It is up to his dear friend Lukien, to convince the Baron to see the error of his ways, before the evil Khaldris can gain total dominince.

John Marco, with his vast military knowledge, has once again brought Liiria and the surrouning countries back to life. Bringing life to his characters, only in a way he can do, John Marco continues to amaze and captivate his fans with his passionate writing, and devotion. If you have not read "The Devil's Armor," you can expect a thriller that combines swordplay with magic in a totally new way.

3.0 out of 5 stars somewhat disappointing, April 10, 2006
By Judy Gordon "fantasy addict" (Gainesville, Florida) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is not a bad book, by any means, but I had had higher hopes for it.
I *loved* the Eyes of God, and couldn't wait for this one to come out in paperback so that I could find out what happened next. I'm still waiting. Eyes came to a definite conclusion; this one is obviously the second in a triology, and leaves half the characters hanging.
Also - it's a minor quibble - but as expensive as books are these days, I expect the editor and proofreader to do their jobs. A minor misspelling, grammatical error or typo once in a while is one thing, but when major errors seem to crop up on every other page, I find it extremely off-putting.
I hope the next in the series is better.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Story with some drops but overall greatness, October 26, 2005
By Plan B (Tucson, AZ USA) - See all my reviews
This is one of those books that you really do not want to put down and can't wait until you have the time to pick it up again. There are some parts of the storyline that don't really make sense, but they are peripheral and the main characters are strong. I like the fact that he made Baron Glass a main character although I do feel as though Lukien has turned out to be much weaker than one would expect. These books are long and great....a great addition to your fantasy library.

RECOMMENDATION: A MUST HAVE
